Cataracts and aging: How to maintain eye health as you age
Aging often affects eye health, with cataracts being a leading cause of vision impairment. Cataracts form when proteins in the eye's lens clump together, clouding vision. You can slow their progression by protecting eyes from UV rays, maintaining a healthy diet, quitting smoking, managing chronic conditions, and scheduling regular eye exams, as advised by Dr. Sneha Shah.
