What to Do Now
If you suspect that you have cataracts, you should go to a medical doctor licensed to treat all eye conditions. He or she can tell you if you’ll need an eye surgery.

How to Prevent
1. Buy sunglasses that shield your eyes from the ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays in sunlight. Sunglasses that block out UVA and UVB should have a label saying that they “eliminate 99 percent of UVA and UVB.”
2. If you are a woman and intend to become pregnant, protect your baby by getting vaccinated for German measles if you haven’t had the disease already.
3. Wear safety glasses to prevent eye injury when playing sports, or when using power tools or caustic chemicals such as paint remover.
4. Eat more green and yellow vegetables, and small fishes, which contain substances (antioxidants) that researchers believe help prevent cataracts.
