Abstract
IN this issue of the Journal, Taylor et al. evaluate the effect of ultraviolet radiation on the ocular lens and its role as a risk factor in the development of cataracts.1 This important article emphasizes a growing concern over the effects of non-ionizing radiation (ultraviolet, visible, and infrared) on the eye. During the past two decades, there has been renewed interest in the photochemical changes in specific ocular tissues induced by ultraviolet and visible radiation.2 3 4 The eye is the only organ or tissue in the body (aside from the skin) that is particularly sensitive to the non-ionizing wavelengths of . . .
