Preventing Cataracts

Millions of people every year are affected by cataracts. Cataracts can greatly reduce the quality of vision and quality of life for many people. Although surgery to remove cataracts is usually very successful, prevention of the formation of cataracts is important.

This morning optometrist Dr. Gina Wesley told us how wearing sunglasses or eyewear that has 100% UVA/UVB protection will guard against cataract growth.

Additionally, a diet high in antioxidants will help maintain clear ocular lenses, free of cataracts.Developing these habits at a young age will result in the best and most effective prevention of cataract formation.
