Risk of cataract among interventional cardiologists and catheterization lab staff: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the risk of developing a radiation-induced cataract in interventional cardiologists (ICs).

Background: ICs are forced to radiation exposure during cardiac catheterization procedures. Since the eye lens is one of the most radiosensitive organs in the body, ICs are highly susceptible to develop a radiation-induced cataract.
