Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci

February 2001

Karolinska Institutet, St. Erik's Eye Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden. The Netherlands Ophthalmic Research Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Purpose: To investigate lens growth after different doses of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and to investigate the long-term effect of a near-threshold UVR dose on the refractive index distribution in the lens.

Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats received UVR (lambda(MAX) = 300 nm) unilaterally during a 15-minute period. The exposure dose ranged from 0.
