Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The goal of radiotherapy is to produce maximal damage to the tumor yet at the same time produce minimal damage to the surrounding tissues. Here we discuss anterior chamber complications of radiotherapy. These can vary from ocular surface irritation to blindness and can be subdivided into acute (<4 weeks) and chronic (>4 weeks). Prevention and management is also discussed and subdivided by affected tissue.
