Yes, it would be nice to have hand and
eye protection available, and if you do, please use them.
Luckily,
eye protection is readily
available, effective, and (generally) inexpensive, and most
eye injuries are preventable.
These ways are with: Diet — eat more fruits and vegetables daily, including: foods rich in Vitamins A (leafy green vegetables), C (peppers, citrus fruits, berries, tropical fruits, broccoli and tomatoes), and E (almonds, spinach, wheat germ and sweet potato), Zinc (grass - fed beef, kefir, yogurt, chickpeas and pumpkin seeds); Lutein and zeaxanthin (spinach, kale and broccoli, and eggs), fish and omega 3 — eating fish 3 times a week is in total co-relation to cataract health and can lower the risk of cataracts; Supplements (it's preferable to get your nutrients from food, but it's not always possible) such as bilberry which is used traditionally to help protect against cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration; Sun
protection — make sure to wear
eye protection whenever out in the sun to help reduce the risk of
eye health issues; Lifestyle modifications — smoking and drinking are known health risks, but also for the
eyes; and the possible upcoming
Eye Drop intervention — drops containing Lanosterol have been tested on 3 dogs that cleared their vision after 6 weeks of using these drops — unfortunately, it's not yet
available for human use at this time.
