Tissues of the eye that play highly specialised roles in forming our sense of sight are uniquely exposed to light of all wavelengths.

In the lens, UV light exposure is a risk factor for the development of cataract, which is a condition that is characterised by opacity that impairs its function as a focusing element in the eye. Cataract can affect spatially distinct regions of the lens. Age-related nuclear cataract is the most prevalent form of cataract and is strongly associated with oxidative stress and a decrease in the antioxidant capacity of the central lens region. Since UV light can generate reactive oxygen species to induce oxidative stress, its effects on lens structure, transparency, and biochemistry have been extensively investigated in animal models in order to better understand human cataract aetiology.

The focusing function of the lens is tied to tissue transparency, refractive index, and biomechanical properties. The stiffness and elasticity or resilience of the human lens allows for shape changes during accommodation to focus light from objects near and far. It has long been hypothesized that changes in lens biomechanical properties with age lead to the loss of accommodative ability and the need for reading glasses with age. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that influence lens biomechanical properties and/or change with age remain unclear. Studies of lens stiffness and resilience in mouse models with genetic defects or at advanced age inform us of the cytoskeletal, structural, and morphometric parameters that are important for biomechanical stability. In this review, we will explore whether: 1) tissue level changes, including the capsule, lens volume, and nucleus volume, 2) cellular level alterations, including cell packing, suture organization, and complex membrane interdigitations, and 3) molecular scale modifications, including the F-actin and intermediate filament networks, protein modifications, lipids in the cell membrane, and hydrostatic pressure, influence overall lens biomechanical properties.</p>","PeriodicalId":73096,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in ophthalmology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11339033/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142037921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
