ABSTRACT
The biological effects of ionising radiation vary according to its linear energy transfer (LET) density, with higher LET radiation having stronger biological effects than lower LET radiation at the same absorbed dose. Though we have done more research in the area of radiation effects on the ocular lens, we know little about the effects of high LET on the ocular lens. This article briefly describes the historical changes in the dose limits of the human ocular lens, investigates the epidemiology of high LET radiation eye lens, summarizes various biological experiments of high LET particles, and briefly analyzes the reasons for the high prevalence of cataracts in the plateau. It also discusses the factors that need to be considered in the future research on high LET, aiming to provide valuable information for the future research of high LET eye lens in China.
