Use an ACE workstation? Reboot each week

Keeping your vision clear
There are many ways to help prevent cataracts
More than half of all Americans age 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to get rid of them, according to the National Eye Institute.
The lens is the clear part of the eye that focuses light. A cataract develops when an area in the lens becomes cloudy.
Most cataracts develop slowly, but they will eventually affect vision. They can make eyesight blurry, hazy or less colorful — as if you are looking through a frosty or fogged-up window.
While most cataracts are age-related, they can also develop from eye injuries or treatments for other vision conditions, such as glaucoma. Surgery is required to treat cataracts.
These actions can help prevent cataracts:
• Wear sunglasses and a hat with a brim to block the sun;
• Use protective eyewear when using power tools, playing certain sports and participating in other potentially hazardous activities;
• Quit smoking; and
• Eat plenty of fruits, leafy green vegetables, nuts and whole grains.
