Abstract :
The primary physiologic effects of microwaves appear to be due to the heating and are accompanied by an increase in the flow of blood. However, several undesirable effects were noted in connection with treatment of the eye, the most serious being the formation of cataracts. Other cautions necessary in the therapeutic application of microwaves are presented.
