“…excessive exposure of the retina to blue light tends to cause ROS accumulation and oxidative stress, which affect the structure and function of the retinal mitochondria and trigger mitochondria-involved death signaling pathways.”
Mitochondria as Potential Targets and Initiators of the Blue Light Hazard to the Retina
Commercially available white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have an intense emission in the range of blue light, which has raised a range of public concerns about their potential risks as retinal hazar...

“Exposure to red light significantly (P < 0.05) increased leptin concentrations compared to the remaining in dim-light condition after both 8-hour sleep and 5-hour sleep”
Light Modulates Leptin and Ghrelin in Sleep-Restricted Adults
Acute and chronic sleep restrictions cause a reduction in leptin and an increase in ghrelin, both of which are associated with hunger. Given that light/dark patterns are closely tied to sleep/wake pat...

Mitochondria in the eyes of mammals act as microscopic lenses to help focus light on photoreceptor pigments. This process enhances photon delivery and gives light directional sensitivity.
