Wondering how to take care of your eyes best when you’re traveling? You’ve come to the right place. Eye care is essential for female travelers, especially considering that women are 12% more likely to develop certain eye conditions than men. This can even lead to vision impairment or loss. That’s why it’s essential to be informed on the best ways to care for your precious eyes.
The risks are even higher for you as a female traveler since you are exposed to more elements and situations. The American Academy of Opthalmology states that eye emergencies are common among travelers. After all, travel includes many unfavorable circumstances for the eyes, like the dry air in an airplane cabin, salty beach water, and prolonged exposure to the sun. These are only some of the major reasons you must be better prepared the next time you plan a trip.
Fortunately, there are ways for you to protect your eyes when you travel. Below are some essentials you can bring as extra eye care precautions for your next trip.

⚠️ Quick tip: Don’t exchange money or take out money from any place that has a big, yellow sign
On my most recent trip to Croatia with @girlslovetravel, I learned that from the locals and other seasoned travelers.
I wanted to pass along the message to help you guys avoid falling for this trap, because I saw so many people getting ripped off.
If you’re traveling through Europe, especially in the Mediterranean, the Balkans, and Eastern Europe, you’re going to see these super-convenient money exchanges and ATMS.
With their big, yellow signs, these are hard to miss.
And they’re so seductive because they’re always conveniently located.
But don’t do it.
These places are known to have the worst exchange rates and sometimes hidden fees.
You’ll end up getting significantly less money than other comparable money exchanges.
The ATMS could charge you all sorts of ridiculous fees, which happened to one of my travel friends.
If you walk away from the touristy city centers, you can find places with better exchange rates.
Do your research.
Compare places, especially if you want to exchange a chunk of money.
Don’t go to the first place you see because it’s convenient.
