Published by Marc under Natural Eye Care Remedies, glaucoma, prevention

New study shows smokers have increase risk of getting glaucoma. Specifically, inflammation and apoptosis marker levels increase with smoking in the aqueous humor and plasma samples of POAG women. Smoking could be an important additional risk factor for glaucoma progression in elderly women.

Editor’s Note: Chronic inflammation and related cell death (apoptosis) due to smoking is implicated in many chronic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, macuclar degeneration and cancer.  Eye disease is often related to poor circulation, chronic systemic inflammation and/or the lack of availability of nutrients.
