This article highlights the critical role of eye health in overall well-being and the adverse effects of poor eye care, including the development of various eye conditions. It emphasizes the impact of oxidative stress on eye tissues, primarily caused by external factors such as UV light, leading to diseases like dry-eye, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Several nutrients, such as antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, are important in maintaining eye health, particularly in conditions like dry eye syndrome and macular degeneration.

Glyphosate-based herbicides (GBHs) are currently the most widely used herbicides in the world, and for many years, they have been considered safe for human health due to the assumption that human cells are presumably not directly affected by glyphosate, given the lack of the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme.
