The Impact of Gut Health on Eye Diseases
The health of the eyes is closely connected to the health of the gut microorganisms. Research has shown that inflammation in the gut can affect age-related macular degeneration, dry eye disease, uveitis, and glaucoma. The interaction of intestinal microbes, known as dysbiosis, plays a crucial role in the development of these eye diseases. Leaky gut syndrome, which leads to chronic inflammation, can further worsen eye problems. Improving gut health through proper diet and lifestyle changes may offer new treatments for eye inflammation and improve eye diseases.
