[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 690085, member: 1963"] My cataracts, which began developing in my very late 40s, were diagnosed by an opthalmologist as being primarily due to excessive UV exposure. In fact, he said that looking at the amount of sun damage I have to my skin, he wasn't at all surprised to find the beginnings of cataracts. I have worn very thick RX lenses since childhood. Too thick for clip-ons to work. My parents and later I, coulddn't afford RX sunglasses; those sunglasses in my day didn't have UVAB protection at all. 2 years ago I finally got a pair of transitional lenses that darken and lighten in response to brightness levels of sunlight. They block UV. They also cost me a fortune. Now, I did wear a hat when out fishing, but a lot of that was from a boat, where the hat doesn't help with-reflection off the water. I wore a helmet whenever I was around horses, but the brim on a riding helmet is for looks only and doesn't provide safety of ANY kind to the eyes. [/QUOTE]
