[The role of the components of the renin-angiotensin system in the ocular tissues in norm and pathology].
Different components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), whose content and activity are predetermined by local factors, are generated in the ocular tissue structures. The local eye RAS plays an important role in pathogenesis of different eye diseases and in the local manifestations of general pathological processes. Therefore, a study of the eye RAS components in norm and in disease contributes to understanding the pathogenesis of eye diseases and opens up new possibilities for an adequate treatment. The RAS components in the lacrimal fluid can be an important characteristics of such diseases like keratitis, diabetic retinopathy etc.
