Cataract, or clouding of the eye’s lenses, is one of the leading causes of vision loss in the world today. Although its exact cause is still unknown, cataract is often associated with aging. Here at our Las Cruces eye care practice, we emphasize the importance of consuming a diet that will help reduce your risk of cataracts via lessening the effects of oxidative stress brought about by aging.

Smoking and tobacco use have been associated with almost all types of health problems - ranging from diabetes to heart disease to certain types of cancer. Yet, did you know that smoking could also significantly increase your chances of vision loss? Here at our Las Cruces eye care practice, we encourage our clients to limit or quit their smoking habits to ensure excellent vision as one ages.
