  Abstract Background: Over the recent years, several researches have speculated about the effects of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) radiation on retinal epithelium cells (RPE). Worldwide, most people live exposed to LEDs irradiation incorporated in screens of PCs, phones and TV sets. These lights give rise to the formation of reactive oxygen species and induce mutagenic mechanisms which lead to apoptosis and consequently to degenerative eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Thus, it is a priority interest to develop appropriate solutions for the growing industry field of LED light phototoxicity. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of blue light absorbing filters in order to decrease induced apoptosis on human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Methods: Human retinal pigment epithelial cells were exposed to 3 light-darkness (12 hours.. View More»
