Reply to Finsterer et al

This letter acknowledges Finsterer and colleagues' insightful comments on pesticide use in fruits and vegetables and impact on eye health. Pesticides can harm eyes through various exposures. Adverse effects occur due to direct entry into ocular tissues, with absorption through eye components. While the potential of organic diets to reduce pesticide exposure is acknowledged, the original paper's cited studies lack clarity on whether organic diet interventions were used. Future systematic reviews comparing organic and nonorganic diets could provide further insights.
