We focus on apoptosis pathways in our model: light-damage induced by short exposures to bright white light and highlight those essential conditions known so far in the apoptotic death cascade.

The review highlights investigation of dead-cell removal and debris clearance during retinal apoptosis as an important future direction.
Inhibition of rhodopsin regeneration and suppression of AP-1 are described as conferring complete protection in the review's model system.
Activation of AP-1 is described as an essential death signal in the light-damage apoptotic pathway.
In the review's light-damage model, rhodopsin is described as the essential mediator of the initial death signal.
The rate of rhodopsin regeneration is described as defining the damage threshold in different mouse strains, with dependence on RPE65 level and residue 450 identity.
