Article Title: A case for neuroprotection in ophthalmology: developments in translational research
Abstract: Cellular aging occurs by the lifelong accumulation of oxidative damage leading to neuronal apoptosis, termed 'neurodegeneration', and the functional deficits of aging. Loss of visual function is one of the most important quality of life measures for older adults. We discuss recent clinical and laboratory advances in the neuroprotective treatment of the aging eye with particular emphasis on the three major ocular neurodegenerative conditions: glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy (DR).
