Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1

Among eye diseases, cataract is the most commonly encountered lens disease and the leading cause of reduced vision. Cataract caused by radiation develops due to neck & head, central nervous system tumors, eye localized tumors and total body irradiation. Today, the only treatment of cataract is surgery.
