I'd add two things:

1.Wear sunglasses with a good uv rating. Sun damage causes cateracts. I ignored this advice to my detriment when I was younger.

2.Sometimes certain eye surgeries, notably vitrectomies and or/gas bubbles for retina detachments cause the lens to cloud. This is in essence a cataract and will need laser or surgery. And by the way, the lens replacement sugery is a snap.
