and glaucoma, or "The blue water" An eye disease that damages the optic nerve, which transmits vision information to the brain.
Optic nerve damage is often caused by high pressure in the optic nerve Eye.
Psychological tensionA rise in pressure in the eye forces retinal tissue to go through epigenetic and transcriptional changes similar to those caused by normal aging.
The authors of the study, whose results were published in the journal Aging Cell, said that repeated stress for periods forced eye tissues to accelerate the aging process.
According to the study’s author, Dorota Skovronska-Krafczyk, associate professor of physics and biophysics and ophthalmology and faculty at a research center Vision Transitional University of California: "The epigenetic changes we observed indicate that alterations at the level of chromatin (the combination of DNA and proteins that make up the contents of a cell’s nucleus) are acquired in a cumulative manner, after several stressful situations. This provides us with an opportunity to prevent vision loss, as the disease is recognized early".
Kravchik added: "We continue to work to understand the mechanism of cumulative changes in aging In order to find potential targets for therapies. We also test different ways to prevent the accelerated aging process caused by stress".
It is worth noting that the German Society for eye diseases She had warned in a previous study that nervous tension – whether at work or personal life – may harm the eye and infect it with what is known as"Central exudative retinopathy"The symptoms of which are the appearance of a gray spot in the field of vision and blurred vision of things, in addition to difficulty in reading and a disturbance in color perception, due to the accumulation of fluid under the center of the retina.

All human cells age, and the cells in the eye are no exception, but aging and the death of retinal ganglion cells in the eye is a major factor in disease. glaucoma.
