The retinal pigment epithelium maybe causally involved in the development and progression of age-related macula degeneration; however, the mechanisms leading to the development of age-related macula degeneration remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine cellular changes in the retinal pigment epithelium induced by direct irradiation with UV light in culture.
