Factores de riesgo para enfermedades oculares. Importancia de la prevención by Armando Rafael Milanés Armengol, Katia Molina Castellanos, Marla Milanés Molina, Ángel Miguel Ojeda Leal, Alina González Díaz

“…El aumento de la incidencia de enfermedades oculares es multifactorial; los factores de riesgo relacionados con el individuo, el medio ambiente y la luminancia solar inciden en su génesis. La retina absorbe millares de fotones que provienen de los rayos ultravioletas y del espectro azul que son los causantes de una mayor fototoxicidad y provocan lesiones irreversibles. …”

Molecular Circuits of Resolution in the Eye by Elvira L. Liclican, Karsten Gronert

“…Formation and bioactivity of lipid mediators in the eye are relatively unexplored and of considerable interest, as the eye contains highly specialized tissues, including the transparent avascular and immune-privileged cornea, and the neuro-retina. A rapidly emerging field has identified key biosynthetic enzymes, receptors, and temporally defined endogenous formation of ω-3– and ω-6–derived protective lipid circuits in the eye. …”
