[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 689065, member: 1963"] The two big causes of eye cataracts in whites,are excessive UV exposure and psychiatric drugs. I spent years out in woods or on/in water. When I wasn't in a boat, I was on a horse. Sunglasses that blocked UVA/B weren't yet available, and there was little that worked as "flip downs" over my very thick lenses. I was also on high Doses of Depakote for many years. Depakote causes cataract as a known side-effect. I have a fully developed cataract in my left eye that isn't really bother me as it isn't really opaque yet. I have a partially developed one in my right eye is bothering due to it getting in the way of what useable vision i have in that eye. . Best thing to prevent cataracts is to eat a clean, nutritious diet, avoid certain psy drugs if possible (and some street drugs, so I've heard) Moderate exercise is good, doesn't have to be strenuous or bouncy if that's more than you or your doctor think you can handle. Most all, wear good quality sunglasses that block UVA/UVB rays. They are readily available in a wide range of styles. I wear photo-variable lenses that change level of darkness according to how much light they are exposed to. They also block UVA/B. If I need Polarized lenses (going out on water or into other high glare situations), I wear a pair of "senior citizens" shades. The huge ones that wrap around your face and go on over the regular glasses. They make me look like the housefly from Hell, (with freckles) but they do get the job done. [/QUOTE]
