Biological effects of blocking blue and other visible light on the mouse retina.
To elucidate the biological effects of blocking fluorescent light on the retina using specific blocking materials. ⋯ The blockade of blue plus additional visible wavelengths of light was most effective in protecting the retina from light-induced damage. The blockade of violet light alone was also effective in reducing intracellular molecular responses, but these effects were not sufficient for attenuating retinal degeneration.
