It depends what you mean by “deteriorating” - there are many causes for “deteriorating” eyesight, from myopia in children, teens and young adults, or presbyopia in the mid-late 40's, through to conditions such as glaucoma, cataract and macular degeneration, etc.
The best way to prevent deterioration depends on what condition is causing the deterioration in the first place.Report this post

Protecting your eyes from the sun, eating a healthy diet, not smoking, and having regular eye examinations will ensure that your eyesight remains optimal. Certain age-related changes such as the eventual need for reading glasses cannot be avoided.
