Presentation of strategies to support lens health as pets age and in geriatric patients.
Things to Learn
Through the lecture, attendees will:
- gain an understanding of the basic concepts of oxidative stress related to ocular physiology and
pathophysiology - learn about the construct and function of the lens, and how it can be damaged by age‐related
oxidative stress mechanisms. - learn how specific antioxidants support key aspects of ocular health
- Learn strategies for the protection of the lens and preservation of vision as pets age and in geriatric
patients.
