There is a significant, rather than just anecdotal, connection between the liver and eyes. This evident in noticeable cases such as jaundice, where sclera has yellow tint. But this can be seen through even more subtle indicators, molecules known hepatokines. relationship not merely anecdotal; some studies, it referred to “liver–eye axis”. Ubiquitous environmental contaminants, microplastics (MPs), enter bloodstream human body conjunctival sac, nasolacrimal duct, upper respiratory tract mucosa. Once absorbed, these substances accumulate various organs cause harm. Toxic from surface of eye lead local oxidative damage by inducing apoptosis corneal cells, irregularly shaped microparticles exacerbate effect. Even other toxicants ocular may absorbed into distributed throughout body. Environmental toxicology presents challenge because many pollutants same route that used certain medications. Previous research indicated accumulation MPs play major role development chronic disease humans. It crucial investigate whether buildup potential fibrosis, or simply consequence conditions cirrhosis portal hypertension.
