In an epidemiologic investigation of the eyes of 209 glass workers with occupational exposure to infrared (IR) radiation and 298 non-IR-exposed controls, the two eyes were compared regarding the degree of lens opacities. The left eye was found to be the most affected in a significantly larger number of persons than the right in IR-exposed workers. The exposure to the two eyes was measured with a system of two pyroelectric radiometers monted in a face mask. The left eye was found to be exposed up to 2.3 times as much as the right in some working moments and never less. These results show a dose-effect correlation between IR-exposure and cataract.
在一项对209名职业性接触红外线（IR）辐射的玻璃工人以及298名未接触IR的对照者的眼睛进行的流行病学调查中，比较了两只眼睛的晶状体混浊程度。结果发现，在IR暴露工人中，受影响最严重的是左眼的人数显著多于右眼。使用安装在面罩中的两个热释电辐射计系统测量两只眼睛的暴露情况。发现在某些工作时刻，左眼的暴露量高达右眼的2.3倍，且从未低于右眼。这些结果表明IR暴露与白内障之间存在剂量效应关系。
