The clinical and histological examination of a cataract in a man of 47 is described together with a review of the deposition of radionuclides in the eye. It is suggested that the cataract was possibly due, at least in part, to irradiation of the sensitive cells in the germinative zone of the lens epithelium by alpha particles deposited in the pigmented tissues of the eye from the 239Pu circulating in the blood.

本文描述了一名47岁男性白内障的临床和组织学检查情况，并对放射性核素在眼部的沉积进行了综述。研究表明，该白内障可能至少部分是由于血液中循环的239Pu在眼部色素组织中沉积的α粒子对晶状体上皮生发区敏感细胞的照射所致。
