ABSTRACT

Age-related eye diseases are a set of ophthalmic diseases caused by aging and irreversible degeneration in the eye.Glaucoma,cataract,and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are some of the common age-related eye diseases.Inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in the initiation and progression of these diseases.Resveratrol,a natural plant antitoxin,fights oxidative stress and inflammation by regulating multiple cellular transduction pathways;and it has become a focal point in anti-aging research and has seen significant research progress during recent years.At the present,investigation into the relationship between resveratrol and age-related eye diseases is still in its infancy.This paper focuses on elaborating new research progress on resveratrol's role in age-related eye diseases.
