J Clin Med: New study helps protect glare.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2020 /--- In a recent study, researchers at LSU Health's New Orleans Center of Neuroscience Excellence and the University of Copenhagen provided the first evidence that patients with high eye pressure may exhibit superior antioxidant protection, thereby increasing resistance to glare-related elevated intra-eye pressure.
their findings were published online in journal Clinical Medicine.
, glare patients are susceptible to elevated eye pressure.
, despite high intra-eye pressure, some patients still do not have glaminal neurodegeneration.

this is the first study to assess oxidative stress and antioxidants during oxygen stress in patients with normal stress gla glare and high eye pressure.
, according to the American 20th Eye Association, high eye pressure refers to situations where in-eye pressure (in-eye pressure or IOP) is higher than normal.
authors found that patients with high eye pressure had increased antioxidant capacity and higher levels of omega-3-derived anti-inflammatory chemical messengers involved in maintaining plasma cell function than patients with glasoma and age with normal blood pressure.
these rich omega-3 fatty acid chemical messengers provide antioxidant defenses and, as a result, are potentially resistant to elevated intra-eye pressure and glare neurodegeneration by eliminating increased systemic oxidative stress.
Nicolas G. Bazan said: "This study opens the way for therapeutic exploration, highlighting the importance of the antioxidant capabilities of the chemical messenger of omega-3 fatty acids as a potential diagnostic biomarker and as a new therapy to prevent neurodegeneration in glare."
" glare is the most common cause of irreversible blindness.
although there are currently treatments to reduce in-eye pressure, 15 per cent of glare sufferers are blind in both eyes, with a 42 per cent chance of blindness in one eye.
