Cataract prevention: Multivitamins

As you age, your risk for cataracts, cloudy spots on the lens of the eye, increases. But a simple vitamin pill may help prevent this problem.

The study also found the multivitamins slightly lowered the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common cause of vision impairment as people age.
