Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Eye diseases are globally on the rise, leading to significant impacts on our quality of life. Considering the expensive treatments available for prevalent and serious eye conditions, using natural compounds found in our daily diet to treat these diseases or prevent refractive errors could be a highly beneficial approach. Therefore, our goal was to explore the connection between lifestyle modification and the risk of more common eye diseases. There is strong evidence that nutrition has a great impact on eye diseases such as dry eye disease, myopia, glaucoma, cataract, age-related macular degeneration, thyroid eye disease, uveitis, retinal vessel changes and occlusions or diabetic retinopathy. Moreover, the link between obesity and eye health is well-established. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, individuals can significantly reduce the risk of eye-related diseases and maintain optimal eye health throughout their lives, which also reduces the need for pharmacological treatment.
