Exposure of the rabbit eye to 2450 MHz continuous-wave microwave radiation produced lens opacities, with a threshold dependent on power density and duration. Repeated subthreshold exposures could also produce opacities cumulatively. Pulsed radiation with high peak intensities appeared more potent than continuous-wave radiation of equal average power, while intraocular temperature increases tracked average power and no single critical temperature for opacity induction was identified.
