Summary

It appears unlikely that retinal damage by cyclic light occurs via an autoxidative mechanism, as vitamin E deficiency did not enhance the effect of bright cyclicLight in reducing photoreceptor cell densities, and Vitamin E deficiency appears to be an effective inhibitor of damage to the retina by bright Cyclic light.
