Abstract
Glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration are the leading causes of irreversible vision loss in individuals over 60 years of age. This review consolidates current data on the epidemiology, shared genetic factors, and pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning their coexistence, and outlines prospects for personalized prevention and therapy. Common modifiable risk factors comprise cigarette smoking, arterial hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Chorioretinal hypoperfusion, mitochondrial dysfunction, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and impaired glymphatic elimination of amyloid contribute to neurodegeneration both in the macula and in the optic nerve area. Treatment prospects include comprehensive vascular and neuroprotective regimens, targeted complement modulation, and the use of polygenic risk scores for patient stratification and longitudinal monitoring.
期刊介绍：
The journal publishes materials on the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, hygiene of vision, prevention of ophthalmic affections, history of Russian ophthalmology, organization of ophthalmological aid to the population, as well as the problems of special equipment. Original scientific articles and surveys on urgent problems of theory and practice of Russian and foreign ophthalmology are published. The journal contains book reviews on ophthalmology, information on the activities of ophthalmologists" scientific societies, chronicle of congresses and conferences.The journal is intended for ophthalmologists and scientific workers dealing with clinical problems of diseases of the eye and physiology of vision.
