This work involves the evaluation of UV blocking efficiency of commercially available
intraocular lens (IOL) materials using a retinal cell culture and a biological in vitro model that …

The magnitude of cataract pathology is indeed significant as it is the principal cause of
blindness worldwide. Also, the prominence of this concept escalates with the current aging …

Purpose The purpose was to develop suitable in vitro methods to detect ocular epithelial cell
damage when exposed to UV radiation, in an effort to evaluate UV-absorbing ophthalmic …

The present study demonstrates broadband UV-B-induced damage of cultured human
retinal pigment epithelial cells as an effort to develop an in vitro model that can be used …

The phototoxicity of ultraviolet A (UVA) alone and UVA plus ultraviolet B (UVB) combined on
cultured porcine lenses was investigated by analyzing cellular function as measured with a …

Since the late 1980s implantation of UV-blocker intraocular lenses during cataract surgery
has become an internationally accepted standard. Last year the Kassenärztliche …

Exposure to ambient ultraviolet (UV) radiation (longer than 300 nm) over a lifetime appears
to play a role in lens aging and nuclear cataract formation. The photochemical generation of …

To investigate the effect of a blue light‐filtering intraocular lens (IOL) and a UV‐absorbing
IOL on light‐induced damage to retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells laden with the …

Objective: This overview of ultraviolet (UV) phototoxicity considers the interaction of UVA
and short-wavelength VIS light with the retina and retinal pigment epithelium. Methods: The …

The human ocular lens serves as a natural filter that prevents much ultraviolet (UV) radiation
from penetrating to the more sensitive retina. Indeed, the ocular lens' ability to filter ultraviolet …
