Session III-Effects of microwaves on the eye Biologic effects studies on microwave radiation: time and power thresholds for the production of lens opacities by 12.3-cm microwaves

Abstract
This study is essentially an extension of the work of Daily, et al. [1, 2] and Richard, et al. [3], who demonstrated that 12.3-cm radiation could produce lens opacities in the eyes of animals. Because of the broader implication of their findings in terms of human analogy, this present investigation was designed to gain some idea of what microwave power densities should be considered dangerous for human exposure. Both wavelength and power densities used for this purpose are of interest in the applied fields of microwave diathermy, radar communications, and microwave research.
