Optical professionals discuss the impact of menopause on women in the workplace ahead of World Menopause Day 2025.
According to Lou Furby, Specsavers senior events and communication manager and MenoTalk founder, menopause can cause a range of symptoms and affect a woman's confidence.
Something you hear quite often from women going through menopause is the phrase, ‘I just don’t feel like me’
Furby shared her personal experience, stating that it was only after gaining perspective that she realized the extent of menopause's impact on her life.
