Abstract
in English, Russian

The global rate of aging is rapidly rising due to the increase in life expectancy, and the number of age-related diseases - including eye diseases - is increasing. The most common eye conditions affecting people over 50 years old are age-related macular degeneration, cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Timely and effective treatment of age-related eye diseases requires a deeper understanding of the cellular mechanisms of aging.

Вследствие увеличения продолжительности жизни глобальные темпы старения быстро растут, растет количество возрастных заболеваний, в том числе заболеваний органа зрения. У людей старше 50 лет наиболее распространенными заболеваниями глаз являются возрастная макулярная дегенерация, катаракта, глаукома и диабетическая ретинопатия. Для своевременной и эффективной терапии возрастных заболеваний глаз необходимо более глубокое понимание клеточных механизмов старения.

Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; age-related macular degeneration; aging; glaucoma; telomerase; telomere; theories of aging.
