This review explores the intricate relationship between glaucoma and circadian rhythm disturbances. As a principal organ for photic signal reception transduction, eye plays pivotal role in coordinating body's rhythms through specialized retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), particularly intrinsically photosensitive RGCs (ipRGCs). These are critical transmitting light signals to suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), central clock that synchronizes physiological processes 24-hour light-dark cycle. The delves into body clock, highlighting importance of retino-hypothalamic tract conveying information from eyes SCN. It underscores melanopsin ipRGCs absorbing initiating biochemical reactions culminate synchronization SCN's firing patterns with external environment.

Biosensors are essential tools designed to monitor physiologically significant data for diverse applications, including environmental pollution detection, food safety, medication research, and disease diagnosis. The integration of microfluidics, nanotechnology, advanced electronics has significantly the development wearable implantable biosensors managing chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, glaucoma. Among these, glaucoma remains a leading cause visual impairment, predominantly driven by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), with limited treatment effectiveness due challenges like suboptimal drug bioavailability therapeutic inefficiency. Despite advances, unmet needs in early diagnosis sustained management persist, demanding innovative solutions. Recent advancements nanotechnology offer transformative potential, addressing these enhancing both detection ocular diseases. This review explores cutting-edge developments nano-drug delivery systems continuous IOP monitoring technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on nanoparticle nanofiber-based contact lenses, which represent promising leap forward improving precision patient outcomes care. manuscript uniquely contributes synthesizing highlighting their potential bridge existing gaps management.

Objective To investigate the causal effects of physical activity and sedentary traits on risk Age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to relationship between AMD. We genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics from two publicly available biobank-scale cohorts: UK Biobank FinnGen. Physical data were self-reported by 703,901 participants behaviour gathered 159,606 FinnGen participants. Our primarily inverse variance weighted (IVW) method. Result Engaging in moderate-to-vigorous significantly reduced AMD with an odds ratio 0.77 (95% CI: 0.66–0.89). However, leisure screen time showed a slight but non-statistically significant upward trend. Sedentary at work, commuting no risk. Conclusions This study MR examine activity, behaviour, It offers genetic evidence suggesting that may protect against AMD, emphasizing significance lifestyle factors maintaining ocular health.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in patients with diabetes. While medical treatments like retinal laser photocoagulation, anti-VEGF therapy, and vitrectomy are primary, complementary therapies gaining increasing attention. Based on the existing literature, healthy lifestyle, including balanced diet, stress management techniques, regular physical activity targeting DR, can help regulate blood sugar levels improve overall mental health to reduce complications. This article explores activities visual training methods related emphasizing therapies, even though some these practices currently not fully integrated into evidence-based ophthalmology. Low exercises aids make most their remaining vision, improving ability perform everyday tasks, reducing impact loss, promoting independence.
