and glaucoma, or "The blue water" An eye disease that damages the optic nerve, which transmits visual information to the brain.
Optic nerve damage is often caused by high pressure in the optic nerve Eye.
Psychological tensionAn increase in pressure in the eye forces the retinal tissue to undergo epigenetic and transcriptional changes similar to those caused by normal aging.
The authors of the study, the results of which were published in the journal Aging Cell, said the repeated stress over periods forced eye tissues to speed up the aging process.
According to study author Dorota Skovronska-Krafczyk, associate professor of physics and biophysics and ophthalmology and professors at a research centre Vision California Transitional University: "The epigenetic changes we have 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 cumulatively, after several stressful situations. This gives us the 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 company for eye diseases He had warned in a previous study that nervous strain — both at work and in personal life — can damage 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 visual field and blurred vision of things, as well as difficulty in reading and a disturbance in the perception of colors, due to the accumulation of fluid under the center of the retina.

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