Cataractogenesis and molecular pathways with reactive free oxygen species as a common pathway

Slowing down or stopping the natural process of cataractogenesis is certainly a challenge for those who today propose a different option than surgery. Addressing the same problem in different ways constitutes a new approach to solving what is today the number one cause of reversible blindness worldwide. The technological revolution, as well as the advances in the different sciences, allows us to conceive mechanisms never thought of before to stop the process that, as a common pathway, constitutes opacification of the crystalline lens.
