光对人和动物眼睛的影响包括波长、强度、光周期和曝光时间等因素。任何一个因素偏离“标准”都可能对眼部健康有害,而超过一个因素偏离“标准”会进一步促进眼部疾病的发展。白化病大鼠似乎比其他实验室动物更容易发生光毒性视网膜变性。这种疾病发生在人类正常的光照条件下,因此,该物种可作为实验动物设施光照对其居民不利影响的试验模型。为了评估照明条件的影响,需要仔细监测和评估动物房的照明特性。当这些数据可用时,监管机构将能够推荐在对实验室动物无害的照明下可以充分执行技术任务的照明条件。
The effect of light upon the eyes of man and animals encompass such factors as wavelength, intensity, photoperiodicity and duration of exposure. Variations from "norm" of any one factor could be detrimental to ocular health, and variation from "norm" of more than one factor can further enhance development of ocular disease. Albino rats appear more susceptible to phototoxic retinal degeneration than other laboratory animals. This disease occurs under lighting conditions that are considered normal for man. Thus, this species may serve as a test model concerning adverse effects of laboratory animal facility lighting upon its inhabitants. In order to assess the effects of lighting conditions, careful monitoring and evaluation of the lighting characteristics of animal rooms are needed. When this data becomes available, regulatory agencies will be able to recommend lighting conditions in which technical tasks may adequately be performed under illumination that is not detrimental to the laboratory animal.
