Individual variation in the transmission of UVB radiation in the young adult eye
TLDR
The large individual differences in UV reaching the retina of younger individuals suggests equally significant vulnerability to the actinic effects of this highly energetic light.
The spectral transmission of ocular media suggests ultraviolet sensitivity is widespread among mammals
TLDR
All species whose lenses removed short wavelengths had retinae specialized for high spatial resolution and relatively high cone numbers, suggesting that UV removal is primarily linked to increased acuity.
Ultraviolet sensitivity of three cone types in the aphakic observer determined by chromatic adaptation
Comparative Spectrophotometer Analysis of Ultraviolet-light Filtering, Blue-light Filtering, and Violet-light Filtering Intraocular Lenses
Purpose To compare the light transmittance property of seven currently used intraocular lens (IOL) models by spectrophotometer data. Methods Light transmission spectra of seven IOL models were…
Violet and blue light blocking intraocular lenses: photoprotection versus photoreception
TLDR
Blue and violet blocking IOLs provide less photoprotection than middle aged crystalline lenses, which do not prevent age related macular degeneration (AMD) and pseudophakes should wear sunglasses in bright environments if the unproved phototoxicity-AMD hypothesis is valid.
How much blue light should an IOL transmit?
TLDR
Determining authoritatively how much blue light an optimal IOL should block requires definitive studies to determine the action spectrum of the retinal phototoxicity potentially involved in human retinal ageing, and the amount of shorter wavelength blue light required for older adults to perform essential activities in dimly lit environments.
Ultraviolet Light Damage and Reversal by Retinoic Acid in Juvenile Goldfish Retina
TLDR
Widespread cone damage by UV light suggests a mechanism independent of visual pigment absorbance, though the delayed loss of UV sensitivity in UV cones may be mediated through their UV rhodopsin.
Blue-blocking IOLs decrease photoreception without providing significant photoprotection.
Visual function improvement using photocromic and selective blue-violet light filtering spectacle lenses in patients affected by retinal diseases
TLDR
The use of a combination of photocromic lens with a selective blue-violet light filter showed functional benefit in all evaluated patients.

TLDR
The spectral sensitivities obtained from aphakic human subjects in the photopic range suggest that the ocular media, including the macular pigments, have a profound effect on the spectral sensitivity.
Transmission of the Ocular Media
TLDR
The spectral transmittance of ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared light through the ocular media of humans has been measured and shows that the transmission of ultraviolet radiation decreases with the age of the eye.

Separate mechanisms for retinal damage by ultraviolet-A and mid-visible light.
TLDR
The results provide convincing evidence that different chromophores mediate damage by UVA and green light and a sound model is provided for further investigation into the different forms of photic retinopathy.
The ultraviolet receptor of bird retinas.
TLDR
Measurements demonstrate the basis for the ultraviolet sensitivity of birds that has been seen in behavioral experiments, and they provide further evidence that many vertebrates share with insects vision in the near-ultraviolet.
