The yellow coloration of the macula lutea is attributable to the presence of macular pigment
in the axons of its photoreceptors. 1 In the 1980s several investigators demonstrated that …

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) involves a progressive impairment of the outer
layers in the center of the retina. Experimental studies have demonstrated that bright light …

Aim: To analyse how intraocular lens (IOL) chromophores affect retinal photoprotection and
the sensitivity of scotopic vision, melanopsin photoreception, and melatonin suppression …

Purpose.: To experimentally measure the spectral transmission of human crystalline lenses
belonging to adult and elderly persons, and to determine the color and total transmission of …

We found that the action spectrum for retinal damage (determined by the fundus
photographic appearance of a minimal lesion immediately after exposure) extends into the …

Purpose: To compare the Alcon AcrySof® Natural (SN60AT) and AcrySof (SA60AT), the
AMO Sensar®(AR40e) and ClariFlex®, and the Pfizer CeeOn® Edge 911A intraocular …

The human eye is exquisitely sensitive to light (ie, visible radiant energy), and when dark-
adapted, the retina can detect a few photons of blue-green light. It is therefore not at all …

The human retina is a unique component of the nervous system in that throughout life it is
continuously exposed to optical radiation between 400 and 1400 nm. The physiology of the …

Wavelengths between 400–1400 nm are transmitted by the mammalian ocular media to the
retina. There are at least three types of retinal injury in this waveband. They are mechanical …

PURPOSE: To characterize age-related changes in the transmission of light through
noncataractous human lenses. SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Glostrup Hospital …
