In humans there are several factors that contribute to the increment in all kind of eye diseases. This mini-review will focus on some diseases whose prevalence is steadily increasing year after year for non-genetic reasons, namely cataracts, dry eye, and glaucoma. Aging, diet, inflammation, drugs, oxidative stress, seasonal and circadian style-of-live changes are impacting on disease prevalence by epigenetics factors, defined as stable heritable traits that are not explained by changes in DNA sequence. The mini-review will concisely show the data showing epigenetics marks in these diseases and on how knowledge on the epigenetic alterations may guide therapeutic approaches to have a healthy eye.engAtribución 3.0 Españajournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2017.00144https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fgene.2017.00144/fullhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5643502/open access617.7CataractsGlaucomaDry eyeKeratoconusEye diseasesOftalmología3201.09 Oftalmología
