A member asked:
In what are the ways can i do to protect my vision if i have cataract?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: Quality sunglasses that will block uv-a and uv-b rays, stop smoking (if you smoke) and ocuvite (or equivalent) vitamins. Be wary of cheap sunglasses as they do not block the uv rays as effectively, yet the tint will dilate your pupils allowing more uv rays to enter your eyes.
