In Vitro Detection of UV‐Induced Damage of the Cornea, Lens and RPE

Abstract Purpose UV‐A and UV‐B radiation from sunlight is a major source of ocular oxidative damage. This paper describes in vitro methods that can be used to detect ocular damage from UV radiation. Methods Human corneal epithelial cells, lens epithelial cells, and RPE cells were cultured and Ultraviolet A/Ultraviolet B blocking filters and UVB‐only blocking filters were placed between the cells and a UV light source. Cells were irradiated …
