‘Positive Stress’ Helps Protect Eye from Glaucoma

April 6, 2012 //  by stanselb

Researchers increased the resistance of  cells to damage by repeatedly exposing the mice to low levels of oxygen similar to those found at high altitudes. The stress of the intermittent low-oxygen environment induces a protective response called tolerance that makes nerve cells -- including those in the eye -- less vulnerable to harm. Stress is typically thought of as a negative phenomenon, but …
