I). T. OR (IANISCIAK and BS W [NKI_I, IR subjected to high levels of incident light while being maintained in an oxygen rich environment. Given the high photon flux and oxygen tension in the outer retina and the high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids present in rod outer segment (ROS) membranes, the potential for visual cell injury is great. Yet, normally, most visual cells survive into the seventh decade and beyond. This may be due in part to the constant renewal of ROS which, coupled with disk displacement and phagocytosis by the RPE of the shed apical tips of the rods, normally results in complete ROS membrane turnover every nine to ten days. Photoreceptors also have the ability to adapt electrophysiologically to a wide range of incident light and metabolically to long term environmental light conditions. Finally, repair mechanisms may play a significant role in preventing visual cell death. Indeed, whether a given photoreceptor cell survives or becomes irreversibly damaged as a result of light exposure may depend on a delicate balance between processes evolutionarily designed to protect the cell and damaging reactions arising from the interaction of light with visual pigments.This chapter will focus on both practical and theoretical aspects of retinal light damage. We begin with a brief history followed by general features of light damage, including its spectral characteristics, time-intensity relationships, environmental and genetic influences and classes of light damage. Because conclusions relating to the mechanism (s) of damage are often based on the manner by which damage is measured, it seems appropriate to address this issue. Additional insights may be gained by examining dietary influences on retinal light damage as well as pharmacological interventions which may protect against, or enhance, the loss of visual cells. We also discuss the hypotheses described by Noell in his now classic description of retinal light damage (Noell et al., 1966). These are:(1) photosensitized oxidation (s) initiated by the action of light on a pigment;(2) an adverse effect of light on a metabolic pathway essential for cellular integrity;(3) a toxic photoproduct produced by the action of light against which the retina is poorly protected. Finally, the relationship of experi-
