We have absolutely no control over many of these things no matter how well we take care of ourselves.
Ten years ago I lost my sight in my left eye over several days due to a torn retina. One year later the same thing happened in my right eye. Emergency laser surgery corrected this both times and restored my vision.
Both times I did nothing physical to bring on the condition. The first time it happened I was at work at my desk. When the right eye failed suddenly I just finished eating dinner and was sitting at the table on Christmas eve.
Absolutely nothing can compare to losing your sight. I am not a prizefighter or a construction worker. I was told this happened both times because I had a large amount of sticky floaters. They pulled on the retinas over time eventually tearing them.
Like the hearing loss: "Just bad luck!" There was nothing I could do to prevent any of this. In so many ways the human body is just a very bad design.
