    2. Adequate intake of vitamin C: The content of vitamin C in the human eye is about 30 times higher than that in the blood, with the increase of age, the nutrient absorption function and the function of substitution gradually decline, the lens is malnourished, and the vitamin C content decreases significantly, which causes lens degeneration over time, resulting in cataracts. Therefore, adequate vitamin C intake should be consumed.

    Vitamin C can reduce the damage of light and oxygen to the lens from time to time, and prevent vision loss and the formation of senile cataracts.

    3. Pay attention to mental regulation: When dealing with things calmly, you should be broad-minded, keep your emotions comfortable, and control your anger.

    4. Prevent dehydration: In the case of dehydration, the normal metabolism of fluid in the body is disordered, and some abnormal chemicals will be produced, which will damage the lens and lead to cataracts; In patients who have already developed cataracts, dehydration can exacerbate the condition. Therefore, once you encounter diarrhea, vomiting, or heavy sweating under high temperature conditions, you should replenish water as soon as possible to meet the needs of metabolism.

    5. Wear dark-colored glasses: Studies have found that the longer you are exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays, the more likely you are to suffer from cataracts. Researchers have shown that wearing dark-colored glasses (or brimmed hats) when going out can greatly reduce the amount of UV exposure to the eyes.

    Wearing tawny sunglasses can prevent cataracts and prevent further vision loss in older people who have vision loss after the age of 60.
