Hospital of Charles University in Hradec Králové from February 1999 to June
2000. Our group consisted of 23 patients (23 eyes), 10 males and 13 females in age
from 41 to 83 years, with average of 69 yrs. They were evaluated 6 months after
beginn of radiotherapy. The patients were divided into 2 groups. 11 patients with
the entry visual acuity 6/60 - 6/24 and 12 patients with the entry visual acuity
