Quantitative Fundus Autofluorescence in Rhesus Macaques in Aging and Age-Related Drusen.

abstract：:Albino rabbits were exposed to repeated microwave irradiations once daily for a month. Clinical examination was carried out for a period up to one year. No changes occurred below 300 mW./cm.2. At and above this level posterior subcapsular iridescence and posterior cortical cataracts were produced. The histologic findi...
