After a free radical is formed it will continue to attack other molecules, which usually results in the damage of tissue or destruction of a healthy cell. Free radicals arise normally through metabolism. However, sometimes the body's immune system will create them on purpose to neutralize viruses and bacteria. Free radicals are implicated in many ophthalmic disorders including uveitis, optic nerve damage, retinal ischemia, and macular degeneration. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFree Radicals in Ophthalmic Disorders\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e presents the most current knowledge pertaining to the role of free radicals\/oxidants in ocular disorders, and the use of antioxidants in the prevention of these disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by today's leading ocular scientists and clinicians, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFree Radicals in Ophthalmic Disorders\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003egives comprehensive coverage of the role of free radicals\/oxidants in ocular disorders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecovers the use of antioxidants to prevent oxidative stress and ocular tissue damage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eexamines external factors that may result in the stimulation and heightened occurrence of free radicals\/oxidants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manfred Zierhut\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420044338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420044331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.08w x 0.71d","brand":"Manfred Zierhut","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065554284799,"sku":"9781420044331","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82612053-b041-4310-8c23-9225b0cc3d19.jpg?v=1768675735","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/free-radicals-in-ophthalmic-disorders-manfred-zierhut-9781420044331","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
