Summary
This paper discusses the effects of oxidative stress on the human cornea, specifically the effects of UVA rays and endogenous sources, and its potential role in corneal aging and degenerative diseases like Fuch’s Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy.
Categories
Eye health: The paper focuses on the human cornea, discussing the effects of oxidative stress on its structure and function, and its potential role in corneal aging and degenerative diseases.
Aging: The paper discusses the role of oxidative stress in corneal aging, including the accumulation of mitochondrial deletions with age.
Dementia: The paper discusses Fuch’s Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy, a degenerative disease of the corneal endothelium, which is associated with vision loss and is a leading cause of corneal transplantation.
