(Molecular Vision, 2011-01-21)Purpose: The purpose was to develop suitable in vitro methods to detect ocular epithelial cell damage when exposed to UV radiation, in an effort to evaluate UV-absorbing ophthalmic biomaterials.Methods: Human corneal ... -
Ultraviolet B and blue light - induced phototoxic effects on retinal pigment epithelium using in vitro assays
Youn, Hyun-Yi (University of Waterloo, 2008-09-12)It is well known that ultraviolet (UV) B (280-315 nm) and blue light (400-500 nm) radiation can produce phototoxic lesions in the neural retina and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In the first section of this thesis, ...
