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.
