Topical ocular application of aggrelyte-2A reduces lens stiffness in mice
Presbyopia is the progressive loss of the ability of the lens to focus on nearby objects due to its increased stiffness. It occurs in the mid-40s and continues to worsen until the mid-60s. The age-associated increase in protein cross-linking in the lens leads to protein aggregation and water insolub...
