Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Radiation Oncology

Context:

  • Eye and ocular adnexa are sensitive to radiation.
  • Radiation dose varies with pathology, tumor location, and technique.

Purpose:

  • To review radiation effects on ocular structures.
  • To outline tolerance doses for eye components.

Summary:

  • Radiation dose to the eye is influenced by pathology, tumor site (ocular globe, orbit, adjacent tissues), and treatment method.
  • Complete vision loss is a significant complication, often resulting from multiple factors.

Impact:

  • Provides essential data for radiation oncologists and ophthalmologists.
  • Aims to reduce radiation-induced ocular complications and preserve vision.
