A few lifestyle changes can play a major
role in reducing the risk of developing cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, age-elated
vision impairment and macular degeneration.
The quality of life is diminished and research has linked it to more
falls, car accidents, blindness and even a shorter life span.
* Eat right:
A healthful diet high in green leafy vegetables, fish, fruit and other
foods high in antioxidants can help protect against age-related eye diseases.
* Check up on your weight. Obesity has been linked to the progression of
cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
* Exercise is very important. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of
developing macular degeneration (AMD), lower eye pressure linked with glaucoma
and reduce diabetic retinopathy progression.
* Control blood pressure, blood sugar, and
cholesterol levels and consult your doctor about a program that is best for
you.
* Shield your eyes. Wear sun glasses and a wide-brim hat to protect
you from ultra violet to help delay cataracts and reduce the risk of AMD,
age-related macular degeneration.
* Smoking is associated with all four eye
disorders and too much alcohol increases the risk of cataracts.
