Cataract develops because of structural and biochemical changes in lens proteins, particularly crystallins, along with oxidative stress, disruption of lens…
Pathophysiology of Glaucoma: Glaucoma is a group of progressive eye disorders characterized by damage to the optic nerve, particularly the retinal ganglion cell axons, leading to characteristic visual field loss. The major risk factor is often increased intraocular pressure (IOP), although glaucoma can also develop with IOP within the statistically normal range. The disease is…
