Air Pollution Linked to Eye Diseases
An international research team has found that air pollution not only harms the heart and lungs but also affects eye health. Fine dust particles (PM 2.5) are associated with up to a 70% increased risk of developing glaucoma and cataracts in areas with high air pollution levels. The researchers explained that continuous exposure to pollution causes inflammation and oxidative stress, damaging the optic nerve and leading to lens damage. They called for increased efforts to reduce pollution through expanding green spaces and lowering traffic congestion.
