I'm worried about my wife's health because her Hb level is at 8.1, and she's feeling weak a lot. Sometimes she struggles with her daily tasks. Could you advise on how to improve her Hb level? Also, she mentions she has difficulty seeing things that are a bit far even though she's using high-quality glasses recommended by an eye specialist. What do you suggest?
