Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can damage the lens and over the lifetime of the individual
contributes to the development of age-related cataract. Cataracts occur in all species …

Despite being a treatable disease, cataract is still the leading cause for blindness in the
world. Solar ultraviolet radiation is epidemiologically linked to cataract development, while …

There are two approaches to the question of whether solar radiation contributes to human
cataract. The first, epidemiological studies, investigates correlations between man's …

PURPOSE: This study was done to quantitate the biologic effects of different wavelengths of
radiation in the UVA-and UVB-wavelength region on cultured rabbit lens epithelial cells …

Purpose.: We compared the radiosensitivity of uveal melanoma (UM) cell lines after x-ray or
carbon-ions radiation (C-ions). Methods.: We characterized the radiosensitivity toward x-rays …

Abstract Purpose: In 2011, the International Commission on Radiological Protection reduced
the threshold for the lens effects of low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation. On one hand …

Purpose: There is limited understanding of the mechanistic effects of ionizing radiation (IR)
exposure in cataract formation. In this study, we explored the effects of IR on reactive …

Cultured rabbit lenses and cultured rabbit lens epithelial cells were irradiated with UV to
correlate morphological changes in the epithelium with physiological changes in the whole …

It is critical to identify and gain a better understanding of the factors that enhance or reduce
the risk of cataractogenesis, to minimize the possibility of occurrence after deliberate (eg …

Whilst the cataractogenic potential of ionizing radiation has been known for over the past
120 years, little is known about radiation responses of lens cells. Our previous work was the …
