Cataract
Alternative names:
lens opacity
Prevention:
The primary prevention involves controlling associated diseases and avoiding exposure to factors known to promote cataract formation.
Wearing sunglasses when you are outside during the day can reduce the amount of UV light your eyes are exposed to. Some sunglasses do not filter out the harmful UV. The optician or salesperson at your optical shop should be able to tell you which sunglasses filter out the most UV.
