In this video, Dr. Harika Regani, Ophthalmologist in Vijayawada at IFocus Eye Hospital, explains how smoking can seriously impact your eye health.
Smoking habits like beedi and ci******es reduce oxygen supply to body tissues, including the eyes. This lack of oxygen leads to inflammation and can damage eye tissues over time.
One of the major concerns is its connection with thyroid conditions. If a person has thyroid abnormalities and continues smoking, the risk of developing thyroid eye disease increases significantly. In fact, heavy smokers are up to 8 times more likely to experience severe complications.
Additionally, if someone already has thyroid eye disease, smoking can reduce the effectiveness of treatments. Both active smoking and passive (second-hand) smoking can cause harm, making it essential to avoid exposure completely.
Taking early precautions and quitting smoking can help protect your vision and overall eye health.
