Abstract
Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of physiological integrity, leading to impaired function and increased vulnerability to death. Aging is an important risk factor for eye diseases. The gradual deterioration of ocular tissue structure and function with age leads to the onset and progression of ocular diseases. During aging, ocular tissues such as the lens, vitreous and retina are affected by age-related changes, such as oxidative stress and protein accumulation in the lens leading to cataract formation, and a decline in retinal pigment epithelial cell function associated with macular degeneration. This article reviews the relationships between aging and ocular diseases, takes age-related macular degeneration, age-related cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinal degeneration, and dry eye disease as focal points, analyses the complex interactions between aging and ocular diseases, and describes the therapeutic options and potential targets for age-related ocular diseases.
