The phrase means:
“After age 60, the earlier you stop doing these 3 things, the healthier your eyes may be — possibly making them up to 100 times better.”
It sounds like a health or vision-care headline designed to attract attention. The claim of “100 times better” is not a medically established measure; eyesight usually cannot be improved by a specific number like that.
For people over 60, protecting eye health generally involves:
- Stopping smoking — smoking increases the risk of eye conditions such as Age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
- Avoiding excessive sun exposure without protection — wearing UV-blocking sunglasses can help protect the eyes.
- Reducing unhealthy habits — such as poor diet, uncontrolled blood sugar, and skipping regular eye exams.
Regular checkups with an eye-care professional are especially important after 60 because some eye diseases can develop without noticeable early symptoms.
