Figure 2. Risks and consequences of oxidative stress

The eye is an organ that is predisposed to great levels of oxidative stress. The eye is constantly exposed to factors such as radiation, chemicals, oxygen, drugs, which induce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can ultimately damage cells. This figure is modified from Flammer J. Glaucoma, Glaucoma A Guide for Patients. An Introduction for Care-Providers. A Quick Reference. 3rd ed. Cambridge: Hogrefe & Huber; 2006. Figure S1.29; p 222.
