Blue Light Protects Against Temporal Frequency Sensitive Refractive Changes.
PURPOSE Time spent outdoors is protective against myopia. The outdoors allows exposure to short-wavelength (blue light) rich sunlight, while indoor illuminants can be deficient at short-wavelengths. In the current experiment, we investigate the role of blue light, and temporal sensitivity, in the emmetropization response. METHODS Five-day-old chicks were exposed to sinusoidal luminance modula...
متن کاملTemporal sequence of changes in rat retina after UV-A and blue light exposure
Two spectral types of retinal light damage were induced in pigmented rats by irradiating small retinal patches at either 380 or 470 nm. The temporal sequence of changes in the retina was followed for up to 2 months by funduscopy and histology. For both damage types, fundus changes were best visible after 3 days. Histology showed that 380 nm specifically damaged photoreceptor cells, particularly...
متن کاملInternal refractive index changes affect light transport in tissue
This investigation explores the effect of index of refraction, as an optical property, on light transport through optically turbid media. We describe a model of light propagation that incorporates the influence of refractive index mismatch at boundaries within a domain. We measure light transmission through turbid cylindrical phantoms with different distributions of refractive index. These dist...
متن کاملLight-Induced Changes within Photosystem II Protects Microcoleus sp. in Biological Desert Sand Crusts against Excess Light
The filamentous cyanobacterium Microcoleus vaginatus, a major primary producer in desert biological sand crusts, is exposed to frequent hydration (by early morning dew) followed by desiccation during potentially damaging excess light conditions. Nevertheless, its photosynthetic machinery is hardly affected by high light, unlike "model" organisms whereby light-induced oxidative stress leads to p...
متن کاملThe role of temporal contrast and blue light in emmetropization
A previous experiment showed that blue light (as a component of white light) protected against low temporal frequency dependent eye growth. This experiment investigated the role of temporal contrast. White leghorn chicks were exposed to white (with blue) or yellow (without blue) LED lighting modulated at either low (0.2Hz) or high (10Hz) temporal frequencies. Four cone contrast conditions were ...
