Check out your local health food store for vitamins/supplements to support the eyes - I know there are products directly for this because my uncle has macular degeneration.
Veggies and fruit have a lot of important antioxidants and vitamins that are good for the eyes.
I believe beta carotene / vit A is very important, and broccoli.
Remember that the body is a whole, you can't just treat the eyes and expect them to get better, the entire health of the individual will help keep problems from developing or returning.

Cataracts: avoid bright sunlight. Wear good sunglasses with UV protection.
Macular degeneration: take a multivitamin that contains LUTIEN. Lutien helps protect against macular degeneration.
Glaucoma? Don't think there's a preventive.

Cruciferous a derivative of kale and brussels sprouts can
hold the line with macular degeneration and sometimes even improve it . Vitamin A and Carbamide help with glaucoma.
Look into a product called Iplex by a company named
Standard Process I use it as the foundation of an eye
protocol.

I read somewhere that by wearing blue blocker sunglasses this has a protective effect against macular degeneration. Also by taking zinc.
