Smoking represents a substantial risk factor for various eye diseases due to a variety of harmful mechanisms. Nicotine and other harmful substances in tobacco impair the microcirculation, promote oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. Studies have shown that nicotine abuse increases the risk of cataract development and has an unfavorable effect on the course of glaucoma. Other entities associated with smoking are age-related macular degeneration and ocular vascular occlusions. In addition, nicotine abuse exacerbates ocular surface disorders and has a substantial negative influence on the course of an endocrine orbitopathy. In summary, smoking is an important modifiable risk factor for numerous eye diseases and early prevention and smoking cessation can contribute to reducing these risks.
由于多种有害机制，吸烟是导致各种眼部疾病的重要危险因素。烟草中的尼古丁和其他有害物质会损害微循环，促进氧化应激和炎症过程。研究表明，尼古丁滥用会增加患白内障的风险，并对青光眼的病程产生不利影响。与吸烟相关的其他病症包括年龄相关性黄斑变性和眼部血管阻塞。此外，尼古丁滥用会加剧眼表疾病，并对内分泌性眼眶病的病程产生重大负面影响。总之，吸烟是众多眼部疾病的一个重要可改变危险因素，早期预防和戒烟有助于降低这些风险。
