Abstract
<p class="first" id="d14440263e107">The risk of blue light exposure to human health
has attracted increased research attention.
Blue light, with relatively high energy, can cause irreversible photochemical damage
to eye tissue. Excessive exposure of the eye to blue light tends to cause a series
of alterations, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial apoptosis, inflammatory apoptosis,
mitochondrial apoptosis and DNA damage, resulting in the development of dry eye disease,
glaucoma, and keratitis. Accordingly, physical protection, chemical and pharmaceutical
protective measures, gene therapy, and other methods are widely used in the clinical
treatment of blue light hazard. We reviewed the studies on possible blue light-induced
signaling pathways and mechanisms in the eye and summarized the therapeutic approaches
to addressing blue light hazard.
