When discussing effects of toxic agents on the retina one must not exclude the most common physical agent to which the eye is exposed, light.
Supported in part by Contract No. DAMD17-74-C4026 from the Office of the Surgeon General, U.S. Army and Grant No. FD 00874 from HEW, Food and Drug Administration, Bureau of Radiological Health.
