How are the Microbiome and the Eye Related? illustrates how changes to the gut and eye microbiomes can affect the systemic immune system, which can then have an impact on the eye. The book is divided into two sections: the first discusses how changes in the gut microbiome affect various aspects of health outside the gut, with an emphasis on the immune system and inflammatory mediators; the second concentrates on studies linking a variety of ocular diseases, such as ocular surface diseases/dry eye, keratitis, uveitis, glaucoma, and retinopathy, to gut dysbiosis. The book’s translational methodology makes it appropriate for both researchers and physicians.
With a focus on eye illnesses, the book will assist readers in comprehending the mechanisms through which the composition of the gut and eye microbiomes may affect health in several compartments.
aids researchers in understanding the clinical eye illnesses associated with anomalies in the gut microbiome
aids medical professionals in understanding how the composition of the gut microbiome may have an impact on health in several compartments
lays the groundwork for future research that examines the use of gut microbiome alterations to treat particular eye illnesses.
