Cell Phone and Eye Cancer ?

• In 2001, German scientists found a link between cell phone radiation and eye cancer. The study investigated a form of eye cancer called unveil melanoma, in which tumours form in the layer that makes up the iris and base of the retina. The research suggests there is a threefold increase in eye cancers among people who regularly use the devices.

• In 2005 a group of Israeli researchers found a link between microwave radiation and the development of cataracts. The study shows that prolonged exposure to microwave radiation similar to that used by cellular phones can lead to both macroscopic and microscopic damage to the lens and that at least part of this damage seems to accumulate over time and does not seem to heal.

• In 2006, there will be 40,000+ new cases of brain tumors and eye melanoma diagnosed worldwide directly attributed to cell phone usage. In 2010, that number may reach and unprecedented 500,000 cases per year.

• It is known that the watery contents of the eye assists the absorption of radiation.

• Ophthalmologic symptoms of electro sensitivity and electromagnetic hypersensitivity include pain or burning in the eyes, pressure in/behind the eyes, deteriorating vision, floaters, cataracts.

• Experts suggest that eyeglass frames should ideally be made from plastic with no wires in them, otherwise they can serve as an antenna to focus the radio and cellular phone waves directly into your brain and eyes.
