The exposure of the rabbit's lens to laser radiation (1.32 microns) induced complex damage probably due to heat-related changes in the lens fibers at the site of the beam action. Heating and coagulation of the tissues changed the position or led to the rupture of some lens fibers. Swelling of the fibers on the lens equator may result from damage to the cell membranes in the anterior part of the lens.
