A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. There is no proven way to prevent cataracts from developing there are preventative measures that can be taken such as ensuring that your diet contains plenty of beta carotene and both vitamins C and E. Another good idea is to always protect your eyes
from UVA and UVB rays, a protection found in eyeglasses as well as contact lenses.
The only treatment for cataracts is outpatient surgery where the cataract is removed and is replaced with a plastic implant. Early detection through yearly eye exams can assist the patient and the physician in cataract detection.

According to the National Society to Prevent Blindness, about 90% of all eye injuries and 50% of all cases of blindness are preventable in children. It is recommended that a child�s vision be checked at birth, between the ages of 6 months and 1 year and again between the ages of 3 and 4 by a physician.
It is estimated that the most common eye injuries to children under the age of 14 are due to:
�Toys not suitable for the
age of the child
