“…Furthermore, local oxidative stress in the eye has previously been reported to be closely involved with mCNV. 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 Thus, though several theories, including mechanical, hemodynamic, and heredodegenerative theories, have been proposed to interpret the pathogenesis of mCNV, 1 , 25 , 26 the current results suggest that systemic oxidative stress could also potentially be a key player in mCNV and that the B/d ratio may be a promising predictive marker for mCNV risk.…”
