4 Ways to Prevent Cataracts at Any Age
Did you know that cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss for individuals over the age of 40? In fact, according to Prevent Blindness America, there are more cases worldwide of this lens-clouding condition than glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy combined.
1. Keep Your Vices in Check
It's no secret that ci******es pose a litany of health risks to you and those around you. But did you know it affects your eye health too?
Have plans to head out to happy hour this week? Just remember to enjoy your beer, wine, and cocktails in moderation. Like ci******es, excess alcohol consumption can pose a number of health risks, one of which is an increased chance of developing cataracts.
2. Eat Right
Studies suggest that those with diabetes are at greater risk for developing cataracts. That's why maintaining healthy blood sugar is so important—for both your overall health, and the health of your vision.
Eating foods high in antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, selenium, and vitamins C and E may also help ward off cataract development.
3. Shade Your Eyes from the Sun
Protect yourself from UV rays. Ultraviolet light can hasten the formation of cataracts.
To reduce your exposure, wear a wide brimmed hat when spending time outdoors and always keep sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection close at hand in any season.
4. Visit Your Eye Doctor
Even if your vision is clear and healthy, make it a priority to schedule yearly eye exams. Routine visits allow your eye care professional to look for signs of cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other vision disorders. This early detection just may save your sight!
