Abstract
Glaucoma, a prevalent and potentially blinding eye disease, is linked to a variety of factors, including elevated intraocular pressure, optic nerve damage, and oxidative stress. In recent years, dietary habits, as a controllable lifestyle factor, have received increasing attention in the prevention and treatment of glaucoma. The purpose of this review was to investigate the effects of dietary factors on glaucoma, with a particular emphasis on two common dietary patterns: the high-salt diet and the Mediterranean diet. In addition, we investigated the association between many particular nutrients (including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, caffeine, and minerals) and glaucoma to fully assess the potential involvement of dietary variables in glaucoma pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment. This article reveals the importance of dietary components in glaucoma prevention and explores prospective possibilities for future research by conducting a comprehensive review of previous scientific studies.
期刊介绍:
No subject pertains more to human life than nutrition. The aim of Frontiers in Nutrition is to integrate major scientific disciplines in this vast field in order to address the most relevant and pertinent questions and developments. Our ambition is to create an integrated podium based on original research, clinical trials, and contemporary reviews to build a reputable knowledge forum in the domains of human health, dietary behaviors, agronomy & 21st century food science. Through the recognized open-access Frontiers platform we welcome manuscripts to our dedicated sections relating to different areas in the field of nutrition with a focus on human health.
Specialty sections in Frontiers in Nutrition include, for example, Clinical Nutrition, Nutrition & Sustainable Diets, Nutrition and Food Science Technology, Nutrition Methodology, Sport & Exercise Nutrition, Food Chemistry, and Nutritional Immunology. Based on the publication of rigorous scientific research, we thrive to achieve a visible impact on the global nutrition agenda addressing the grand challenges of our time, including obesity, malnutrition, hunger, food waste, sustainability and consumer health.
