Cataracts
With 90% of the genes in our DNA involved in the structure and function of the eyes, the eyes are highly susceptible to negative epigenetic changes – especially those generally associated with ageing. For example, increased methylation of a group of genes called Klotho, as well as reduced activity of genes for the formation of crystallins – the transparent proteins that make up 90% of the lens mass – are the causes of progressive clouding of the lens. Impaired antioxidant protection of the eye also plays a role.
In addition to increased intake of antioxidants, lifestyle modifications are needed – reduce carbohydrate, alcohol, saturated fat and salt consumption, limit exposure to UV radiation, and do not smoke. Obesity and an imbalance of the gut microbiome are also detrimental.
