There are many factors that will increase the risk of eye diseases. For example, smoking will increase the risk of cataract and macular degeneration. Drinking too much alcohol a day can also increase the risk of cataract. If you don't wear sunglasses in a bright sunlight, the UV light will damage your eyes and cause cataract and macular degeneration.

Most eye diseases can be caused by unhealthy diet, lack of excercise and excessive work. Overall health also contributes a lot to eye health.
