Proton irradiation of the rabbit's eye resulted in injuries of the same nature as those from other ionizing radiations, yet the evolution of the pathological processes thus induced were different since the injuries became stabilized at a precise stage of cataractogenesis. The localization of the radiosensitive sites was verified and a lack of LET effect was noticed. Since mammalian lens are not very different from one another, the results can be extrapolated to man. The hazards to man arising from accidental exposures exist but they are very low. (FR)
