True Exfoliation of the Lens, Infrared Radiation

True Exfoliation of the Lens, Infrared Radiation
Infra-red radiation as it occurs with glas blowers and steel workers may lead to a true exfoliation of the anterior lens capsule. A near-transparent membrane splits from the anterior lens capsule and its ends curl and may be seen floating in the anterior chamber with eye movements.
