Abstract

The metabolic secretions produced by the cells inside the human eye are accumulated simultaneously in the cornea, in the trabecular meshwork, in the lens and retina. Genetic factors are directly related to how the metabolic secretion clumps occur and the form of accumulation is very specific according to the movements of the eyes, arising from activities performed by the patient, so neither outcome can be predictable. This paper analyzes the publications that deal with the anatomical structure and biophysics of the eyes as well as the symptoms that were observed during the treatment of presbyopia by the first author to explain that the deterioration of the forced convection mechanism for transporting the nutrients and metabolic secretions provoke a reduction in the movement of metabolic secretions causing its dehydration by decanting. This can cause various vision problems such as those symptomatically known as amblyopia, as lateral visual dominance due to the permanent inequality of the corneal curvature radius and as glare discomfort or glare disability that in many cases, requires the individual to use dark or photochromic lenses.
