If you'd like to get Lasik surgery on your eyes and are an acceptable candidate, expect the procedure to cost $2,000 or more per eye. However, many vision care specialists offer special financing plans, so don't give up if you can't afford to pay it all right away.

Vitamins may be more important to good vision care than previously thought. Antioxidants like Vitamin E help reduce natural cell damage caused by free radicals of oxygen, and work best if you don't smoke, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation.

The lenses in your eyes act as a filter against ultraviolet radiation, but over time they can become damaged and cloudy, forming cataracts. About a third of all people over 65 get cataracts, but if you're careful with your vision care and wear anti-UV sunglasses, you're less likely to get them.
