Introduction Eye diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration share a common culprit: oxidative stress from harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excess ROS can damage DNA, lipids and proteins in the ret...
Resveratrol’s Promise in Glaucoma: Ocular Cells and Systemic Aging Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound often touted as a “caloric restriction mimetic” and SIRT1 activator with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Early studies sh...
Macular Carotenoids (Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Meso-zeaxanthin) Beyond the Macula Introduction: Lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin are yellow-carotenoid pigments concentrated in the macula of the eye. Beyond filtering blue light in the retina,...
N-Acetylcysteine and Glutathione in the Aging Eye Age-related eye diseases – including glaucoma and retinal degeneration – are driven in part by oxidative stress, an imbalance between harmful free radicals (reactive oxygen species) and the eye...
Alpha-Lipoic Acid in Glaucoma: A Neurovascular Antioxidant Strategy Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy in which elevated intraocular pressure, vascular insufficiency, and oxidative stress contribute to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) d...
Astaxanthin: A Potent Antioxidant for Eye Health Oxidative stress – an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the body’s defenses – contributes to many eye diseases (dry eye, macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataract) (pmc.ncbi.nlm.ni...
