Research Abstract

The glaucoma study in atomic bomb survivors, conducted in the Radiation Effects Research Foundation from 2007 to 2008, revealed a significant association between the incidence of normal tension glaucoma and radiation dose. The mechanism of glaucoma is unknown, but local circulatory disturbance may play a role in glaucoma pathogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between radiation dose and retinal arteriolosclerosis, which may be related to local circulatory disturbance, but we did not observe significant direct association.
