How can I keep cataracts from getting worse?
FEB 20, 2024
Answer:
Most individuals over age 50 to 60 technically have age-related changes in their lenses that might be termed "very early cataracts."
In general, prevention is difficult; but the most helpful practice is to avoid ultraviolet light from the sun with sunglasses. Avoid using steroid eye drops unless absolutely necessary. Avoid the rare medications that may be associated with cataract progression.
