Treatment & Prevention – How to prevent cataracts

Cataracts are mostly age-related and cannot be completely prevented, but you can reduce your risk by following these steps: 

• Stop smoking, as it increases the likelihood of developing cataracts.
• Limit alcohol consumption, since excessive drinking is linked to cataract formation.
• Wear sunglasses with UV400 protection to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from fruit and vegetables to support eye health.
• Have regular eye tests to detect cataracts and other eye conditions early. 

 By adopting these habits, you can help protect your eyes and reduce your risk of cataracts.
