The people who get cataracts are engaging in BEHAVIORS WHICH LEAD TO CATARACTS:
1. diabetes: poor diet and a lack of exercise
2. don't use sunglasses
3. drink
4. smoke
Guess what: if you DON'T poison your body and if you DO protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses---you won't get cataracts!
Derp.
One of the questions here though, if you never wore sunglasses until you are 50+, this is 50+ now, is the damage already done? Kinda like the lady who spent her teens and twenties suntanning, and now at 50, looks older then some 70 year olds.
