The first solution the eye doctor will give is surgery.
Surgery is the only way to fix the problem; or so you have been told. They will
wait until the cataract is big enough to remove with surgery. The whole left in
the eye will be replaced with a plastic lens so you can see once again. This
process is expensive and may only work for a short while before coming back in
another area of the eye or the other eye.
The number one cause of cataracts is stress. Most people who
get cataracts have gone through some seriously stressful situations or life a
high stress life. They never take the time to relax and are always on the go.
Another cause is a poor diet, high in cholesterol and carbohydrates and low in
vitamins and fruits or vegetables.
You can reduce the risk of cataracts today by learning to
relax the eyes and eating a more healthy diet. Choose foods that are high in
Vitamins A-E and increase the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat. Try to
live a healthy lifestyle which includes regular exercise, no smoking, and
little to no alcohol consumption.
Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and mental strain. Find
the time to exercise at least every 5-6 days; even a brisk walk around the
block is better than nothing. Take some time for yourself and relax. Lie out in
the sun after work and close your eyes for 10-15 minutes as often as possible.
Move things off the ‘to do’ list that can wait and don’t require immediate
attention. Learn to say ‘no’ and try not to take on more than you can handle.
Avoiding stress and strain in your life can help improve
your eyesight naturally. Cataracts are caused from too much strain and living a
stressful live, so do your eyes a favor and relax.
