We previously demonstrated that phagosome-free retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in culture can be damaged directly by blue light (wavelength 440+/-10 nm) as observed by electron microscope. A low intensity (1.0 mW/cm2) of light induced only swelling of mitochondria, while a high intensity (4.0 mW/cm2) induced necrosis in the RPE. The aim of the present study was to investigate what intensity of blue light could induce apoptosis in cultured phagosome-free RPE.
