Lens opacities result from exposure of the rabbit eye to 2450-me continuous wave radiation.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Opacities may also result as a cumulative effect of repeated subthreshold exposures. Intraocular temperature increases during irradiation, related to power density, but a particular critical temperature for opacity induction cannot be identified.

Quick Questions About This Study

Lens opacities result from exposure of the rabbit eye to 2450-me continuous wave radiation.
Opacities may also result as a cumulative effect of repeated subthreshold exposures.
Pulsed radiation with high peak intensities appears to be more potent in inducing lens opacities than continuous wave radiation of equal average power.
