If you are talking about the yellowing and browning leaves, pick them all off, make sure you are watering the plant's roots (not the leaves) and keep weeds and grass from growing around them. There is also something you can get at a garden center, but its chemical, so could affect the fruit.
If you discover blights in your vegetable garden whether it's on tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, or other plants remove the infected plant and dispose of it. You can either burn the plant, or place it in a garbage bag and throw it in the trash. Never put plants with blight in a compost pile. This is a very important step in preventing the blight from spreading to other plants in the garden. Also, make sure to thoroughly wash your hands after touching blight-infected plants. You could accidentally spread the disease to other plants if the blight spores are on your hands.
Incorporate lime into the soil. I have had the same problem, the tomatoes come in looking beautiful and thenot that blight gets going on them, just get the lime and usually it stops it.
