Oral administration of resveratrol or lactic acid bacterium improves lens elasticity
Abstract A decrease in the elasticity of the ocular lens during aging is associated with loss of the accommodative ability of the eye, leading to presbyopia. Although near vision impairment is a social issue affecting the length of healthy life expectancy and productivity of elderly people, an effec...
