Abstract:UV radiation and short wavelength visible light are known to damage various tissues in the eye. This paper investigates the effect on rat lens glycolysis after in vivo exposure with 90 kJ m−2 narrow band UV radiation (UVB, 300 nm) and 90 kJ m−2 blue light (435 nm) radiation. After exposure, all lenses were incubated in Medium 199. Samples of culture medium were withdrawn after 2, 4, 6 h and 5, 10, 20 h in two UVB studies and after 5, 10 and 20 h in a blue light study. Lactate is the major end product of lens glycolysis. Lactate was determined with a modified enzymatic-photometric method. Intralenticular lactate was determined in one UVB experiment. In the UVB experiments we found a lower lactate production in the exposed lenses 2–6 h after exposure. There was an accumulation of lactate inside UVB-exposed lenses after 6 h incubation compared with their contralateral lenses. No significant effect on lactate production was observed in the blue light experiment. Conclusions. UVB induced a reversible inhibition of glycolysis. UVB also induced an accumulation of lactate inside the lens. Blue light tended to increase glycolysis.
