A STUDY OF LENTICULAR IMPERFECTIONS IN THE EYES OF A SAMPLE OF MICROWAVE WORKERS AND A CONTROL POPULATION

Abstract

An investigation was performed to compare the frequency of occurrence of lenticular imper fections in the eyes of a sample of 736 micro wave workers and a control sample of size 559. The installations surveyed are described and their microwave safety procedures reviewed. The methodology for the ophthalmological examination, and for recording the extent of lens imperfec tions, are presented. Microwave exposure was estimated by analysis of occupational history questionnaires. Ophthalmological observations of special clinical significance are presented and findings of this investigation are discussed.
