Abstract
Dysregulation of oxidative stress serves as a pivotal predisposing or exacerbating factor in the intricate development of numerous pathological processes and diseases. In recent years, substantial evidence has illuminated the crucial role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in many fundamental cellular functions, including proliferation, inflammation, apoptosis, and gene expression. Notably, producing free radicals within ROS profoundly impacts a wide range of biomolecules, such as proteins and DNA, instigating cellular damage and impairing vital cellular functions. Consequently, oxidative stress emerges as a closely intertwined factor across diverse disease spectra. Remarkably, the pathogenesis of several eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, manifests an intrinsic association with oxidative stress. In this comprehensive review, we briefly summarize the recent progress in elucidating the intricate role of oxidative stress in the development of ophthalmic diseases, shedding light on potential therapeutic avenues and future research directions.
