“…Age was considered important since earlier studies had indicated that subcataractous lens defects appeared to increase with normal aging of the lens. 9 Man-for-man age matching of exposed and controls would have eliminated age differences but, due to sampling restrictions, this was not possible. The control group was 14% smaller than the group of microwave workers.…”

“…They did note a statistically significant increase in posterior polar defects. (39) ZARET et al reported a study of 475 exposed personnel and 359 controls in which a slight, but statistically significant, increase in lenticular defects were noted in the exposed group. These consisted of posterior polar defects, opacification, minute defects and relucency.…”

Concern over the possible hazards of cxposurc to microwave radiation has lately been on the incrcase. Increasing industrial and commercial use of microwave generators for heating and cooking, increasing power of radar scts, and expansion of the broadcasting industry have resulted in more widespread interest in the possible biological eKccts of these electromagnetic radiations. A critical review of the literature on biological effects ofmicrowave irradiation is presented along with an analysis of the present status of standards and hazard evaluation.

“…The case, therefore, would not appear to be conclusive of a cataractogenic effect of long-term, high-level microwave exposure (Milroy and Michaelson, 1972). Zaret and Eisenbud (1961) selected 67 age-matched pairs as a subgroup for statistical analysis. They used a semiquantitative scoring method (rated 0-3) to describe findings and used a chi-square test of the differences between the number of microwave workers with the same, lower, or higher scores.…”
