Non-visual opsins and novel photo-detectors in the vertebrate inner retina mediate light responses within the blue spectrum region

Eye health: The paper discusses the role of non-visual opsin photopigments in the inner retina of vertebrates, which are crucial for eye health as they are involved in non-image-forming processes and can continue to operate even in the absence of vision under retinal degeneration.

Cognitive function and memory: The paper indirectly suggests a link to cognitive function and memory through the discussion of non-visual opsins' role in neuron-to-glia communication and other activities.

Aging: The paper discusses the ability of non-visual photopigments to continue to operate even in the absence of vision under retinal degeneration, which is a condition often associated with aging.

Phototherapy: The paper discusses the role of light in activating non-visual photopigments in the inner retina of vertebrates, which is relevant to the field of phototherapy.
