Filtration of short-wavelength light provides therapeutic benefit in Retinitis Pigmentosa caused by a common rhodopsin mutation.
- Abstract:
-
Purpose: The role of light exposure in accelerating retinitis pigmentosa (RP) remains controversial. Faster degeneration has however been observed in the inferior than superior retina in several forms ("sector" RP), including those caused by the rhodopsin P23H mutation, suggesting a modifying role of incident light exposure in such cases. Rearing of equivalent animal models in complete darkness has been shown to slow the degeneration. Here we investigate the use of red filters as a potent...
