BACKGROUND: Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and blue light has been shown to cause retinal damage in animals. In humans, it has been argued that the loss of short-wavelength (S) cone sensitivity during normal aging may be related to chronic light exposure.
METHODS: We measured sensitivity to blue and yellow lights presented on bright yellow backgrounds at several retinal eccentricities in both eyes of an observer with long-standing unilateral aphakia.
RESULTS: For yellow lights, where media absorption is not a major factor, there was a 2-fold loss in sensitivity of long (L) and medium (M) wavelength cone mechanisms in the aphakic eye relative to the phakic eye. For blue lights detected by S-cones, there was a 10-fold loss of S-cone mechanism sensitivity in the aphakic eye, after differences in ocular media density were taken into account.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings strongly support the hypothesis that chronic exposure to short wavelength radiation impairs S-cone function.
