High cholesterol: Three signs 'bad' cholesterol is starting to 'gather' in your eyes

Care Optics adds: “Cholesterol can be prevented with a good diet, good hydration and exercise.

“A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables will provide you with antioxidants, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C and E, reducing the fat in your bloodstream, the pressure in your veins and the likelihood of developing a clot.

“Trying to avoid red meats, drinking at least 1.5 litres of water daily and having an exercise routine, would also help to lower your cholesterol numbers and improve your health.”

The NHS also recommends quitting smoking and drinking less alcohol.
