Dose dependency of irradiation on the transmission of blue light.

The age (mean with range in parenthesis) of the donors used for the experiments is shown in the second column. The number of lenses used for each wavelength is shown in the third column and the number of lenses showing a significant dose-dependent increase in transmission as a function of increasing irradiation doses is shown in the fourth column.The following columns show the result of modelling the photobleaching observations to the mathematical function: Transpost = y0 + aTranspre + bDosec. Transpost is the transmission of blue light after irradiation and Transpre is the transmission of blue light before irradiation. The dose of irradiation was measured in J/cm2. y0, a, b and c are constants. The constants are shown as parameter estimates with standard error of estimate in parenthesis. Only lenses showing a dose-dependent photobleaching effect were included in the modelling. RMSE: root mean square error.Dose dependency of irradiation on the transmission of blue light.
