While we cannot avoid major eye ailments or natural occurrences we can take some steps to maintain good vision.

* Eat dark leafy greens like spinach and sprouts, as well as dark berries, like blueberries and blackberries, Which are rich in lutein, a type of carotenoid that protects against macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 60. Foods rich in omega-3s, like walnuts and fish, can reduce in the blood vessels of the eye.

* Remember to wear special-purpose safety glasses, face shields, or helmets designed for that task.
* know your family’s eye health history – whether anyone has a disease or condition that is hereditary.
