August is Cataract Awareness Month

Did you know that over 20 million Americans age 40 and over have cataracts? A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens in the eye. They are the leading cause of blindness worldwide; however, in most cases, vision loss from cataracts is reversible. Scheduling regular eye examinations is the key to early detection and treatment. The American Academy of Optometry also states that eating a diet rich in antioxidants like spinach, broccoli, and eggs may decrease your risk of developing cataracts.
