Summary
This work examines how optical radiation can be tuned to optimize both visual performance and nonvisual (circadian/biological) effects, with a focus on melanopsin sensitivity in ipRGCs. Practical lighting design can leverage spectral tuning to balance visual comfort with circadian health outcomes.
