Effects of microwave radiation on the lens of the eye

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5672119
The effects of microwave radiation on the lens of the eye, particularly in regard to potential for cataractogenesis at low exposure levels are examined. The partially understood biophysical mechanism of microwave cataractogenesis is discussed. No evidence was found for cataract induction by microwave fields of less than 10 per sq cm.
