Blue light hazard and aniridia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The fundi of three patients with aniridia were photographed with a 470 nm illuminating light source. No apparent change in contrast was observable throughout the macular region. This would suggest an absence of the macular pigment. The likelihood of aniridics being more susceptible than normal persons to blue light damage is discussed.

Using Temperature of IR Sources for Assessing Photochemical and Aphakic Retinal Hazard
Introduction Blue light is a part of the spectrum with the highest energy content, which can reach the retina. The damage that it can cause to the retina is called photochemical or blue-light retinal injury. For the retinal injury assessment of the photochemical and aphakic retinal hazards in the wavelength range of 300-700 nm, use of effective spectral radiance limits (W.m-2.sr-1) seems to be ...

متن کاملHazards of solar blue light.
Short-wavelength visible light (blue light) of the Sun has caused retinal damage in people who have stared fixedly at the Sun without adequate protection. The author quantified the blue-light hazard of the Sun according to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines by measuring the spectral radiance of the Sun. The results showed that the exposure limi...
متن کاملEffects of LED Light on Seed Emergence and Seedling Quality of Four Bedding Flowers
Recently much attention has been paid by horticulturists to light-emitting diodes as a new source of economical and spectral-selective light. The reason is mainly coming from their versatility in handling and mounting, long working time, wattage use efficiency and lower heat production. In this study we examined their potential in promoting seed germination and producing quality flower seedling...
متن کاملThe Effect of Seaweed Extract and LED on the Growth and flowering of Two Lisianthus Cultivars
Lisianthus is a slow-growing flowering plant whose seed germination and growth is a challenge in the tropics. Due to the marketability of this type of cut flower, this study was performed in two experiments to investigate the effect of seaweed extract (SWE) and LED on the growth of seedlings of two cultivars of lisianthus (namely Ariana and Mariachi) and its effect on flowering as a factorial e...
