Live well: Keeping healthy, like exercising, protects against diseases of the retina. Also, eating healthy food especially antioxidant-rich produce, can delay cataracts. “What’s good for your health is good for your eyes,” says Purnima Patel, M.D., an active fellow of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Cover up: “Protect your eyes from the sun. Wear a hat and sunglasses to reduce the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases,” says David Damari, O.D., dean of the Michigan College of Optometry at Ferris State University.
Refresh: Take a break from too much screen time; it can cause dry eyes. Blink often to relubricate your eyes or use eye drops, Dr. Damari cautions.
