Excessive Exposure to Sunlight
Excessive exposure to sunlight would also lead to cataracts. Direct UV rays from the sun would damage your lenses and surrounding parts, which increases the risks of cataracts when you get older. Thus, a simple way to reduce cumulative sunlight exposure is to wear sunglasses that would block harmful UV rays effectively. Similarly, it is a good idea to wear a hat with a brim to decrease your exposure by 30% to 50%. This is especially when you live or travel in high altitudes where you might be exposed more to sunlight. [2]
