Other Hypotheses
Key Findings
Protective strategies (e.g., UV-blocking sunglasses, reducing screen brightness) may be low-risk interventions worth recommending. More human data needed.
Next Step Suggestion: Search for human observational studies on light exposure and RP progression. Collect patient experience data systematically.
