— Rat lenses have been organ cultured in light and dark, and peroxidative degradation of lipids studied in the presence and absence of aspirin. The extent of peroxidative degradation has been assessed by measurement of malonaldehyde. The light‐stimulated peroxidative degradation of the tissue lipids has been found to be preventable by aspirin. Aspirin thus appears to be a potential agent against light damage to the tissue.
