Detailed Analysis
Taking melatonin and retinaldehyde together may increase the risk of retinal light damage. This is because melatonin can make the retina more sensitive to light, which may worsen the effects of retinaldehyde on the retina. Patients should be aware of this potential risk and consult their doctor. Melatonin can increase retinal light damage by making photoreceptors more sensitive to light. This is mediated through melatonin receptors, such as MT1, which are expressed in the retina. When melatonin binds to these receptors, it can enhance the damaging effects of light on photoreceptors.
