Abstract:The retina consists of many different cells, the most important of which are retinal cells. Retinal cells have a lot of mitochondria. The mitochondria in retinal cells provide the energy of retinal cell activity, including the energy required to convert light into nerve signals. However, when the sun enters the eye and is irradiated on the retina, the high-energy ultraviolet light in the solar energy causes the mitochondria in the retinal cells and retinal cells to produce free radicals. These free radicals ar… Show more
