Hypoxic environments are known to trigger pathological damage in multiple cellular subtypes. Interestingly, the lens is a naturally hypoxic tissue, with glycolysis serving as its main source of energy. Hypoxia is essential for maintaining the long-term transparency of the lens in addition to avoidin...
