Cataract formation following heavy ion exposure (O+8) was noted in three rhesus monkeys secondary to a study of retinal effects. The pathogenesis of these lens changes follows many, but not all, of the characteristics for "radiation cataracts." The ring-shaped opacity was not noted to occur. Posterior capsular changes were noted initially and followed through the formation of a mature cataract.
在一项关于视网膜效应的研究中，三只恒河猴在受到重离子照射（氧离子+8）后出现了白内障形成。这些晶状体变化的发病机制遵循了“放射性白内障”的许多（但并非全部）特征。未观察到环形混浊的出现。最初观察到后囊膜变化，并持续到成熟白内障的形成。
