Abstract
The main health effect of exposure to ionizing radiation on the eyes is lens opacities and cataracts. Recent findings have raised questions about the pathogenesis of lenticular damage and the exact threshold dose for the onset of this effect. Occupational dose limits for the lens have been therefore recently reduced to 0.02 Gy/year averaged over 5 years with no single year exceeding 0.05 Gy/year. Healthcare workers can be exposed to ionizing...
