7 ways to reduce your risk of cataracts

Wearing sunglasses

5. Wear sunglasses at times

Your doctor will tell you to wear sunglasses to prevent cataracts. But, while it’s important to protect your eyes against ultraviolet light, you also need the natural wavelengths found in sunlight to feed your eyes the nutrients they need for good health.

Wear sunglasses for high exposure times such as when you plan to be out in the sun all day or in the snow or on the water where sunlight reflections can damage the eye. Otherwise, allow your eyes to absorb the sunlight they need.
