Kick cataracts to the curb

While a cloudy eye may seem benign, it could be more dangerous than you think – cataracts are the leading cause of blindness for Americans over 40.

At PA Health & Wellness, we know healthy vision is key to healthy living. To mark Cataract Awareness Month, here are some tips for keeping your vision steady:

• Wear sunglasses: Sunlight can cause cataracts, so pick shades that block out UVA and UVB rays.

• Practice proper diet: In addition to eating properly, quit smoking and limit your alcohol consumption.

• See a doctor: No one knows vision like an eye doctor, so regular checkups are important.
