Blue-light filtering intraocular lenses
Summary:
This paper discusses the benefits and potential drawbacks of blue-light filtering intraocular lenses, which are designed to reduce the incidence of potentially damaging UV and blue light on the retina.
Categories
- Eye health: The paper discusses the use of blue-light filtering intraocular lenses and their potential impact on eye health, particularly in relation to age-related macular degeneration and phototoxic damage to the eye.
- Aging: The paper discusses the use of these lenses in the context of aging, as the aging eye is less likely to be able to sustain protective mechanisms against phototoxic damage.
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the potential impact of these lenses on circadian rhythm, which could theoretically decrease melatonin production and cause sleep disturbance.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the design and function of blue-light filtering intraocular lenses, including their potential impact on scotopic vision and color vision.
