  • Abstract
    The absorption of microwave power on the axis of the eye was measured at 0.915, 2.45 and 9.0 GHz on a model of a human head. The absorbed power shows an essentially exponential decrease with the distance from the cornea at 9.0 GHz. At 2.45 and 0.915 a maximum in the absorbed power pattern occurs within the eyeball. The peak values are 50-100% higher for protuberant eyes than for deeper lying eyes. This indicates that microwave workers with protuberant eyes may be more liable to microwave induced eye lesions than others.
