The aim of the presented study was to establish if occupational exposure to infrared (IR) radiation increases the risk of developing cataract, and to correlate the lens findings to the degree of exposure. The eyes of 208 IR-exposed workers and 208 controls, all from 6 Swedish iron and steel manufacturing plants, were examined. An increased prevalence of wedge-shaped opacities was found in IR-exposed persons 60 years of age and older. This type of lens opacity is normally considered to be a purely senile change. Acceleration of senile changes by IR radiation is suggested. Stratification of the material with regard to exposure was made on different grounds, but failed to show a dose-effect-correlation.
本研究的目的是确定职业性接触红外线（IR）辐射是否会增加患白内障的风险，并将晶状体的检查结果与接触程度相关联。对来自瑞典6家钢铁制造厂的208名接触IR辐射的工人和208名对照组人员的眼睛进行了检查。在60岁及以上接触IR辐射的人群中，楔形混浊的患病率有所增加。这种类型的晶状体混浊通常被认为是纯粹的衰老变化。提示IR辐射会加速衰老变化。根据不同标准对材料进行了暴露分层，但未显示出剂量-效应相关性。
