The long-term effect of experimental beta-radiation therapy on the human cornea

This patient is one example of the long-term effect of beta-radiation treatment on the eye. Ongoing care is needed to monitor the ocular health and vision of these individuals as radiation effects may necessitate observation and/or care throughout the patient's lifetime. Follow-up on more patients who underwent beta-radiation treatment decades ago, should it be possible to do so, would provide further insight into the long-term anterior segment changes that can occur as a result of such treatment.
