Vision is one of the most important senses to animals, which has evolved successfully to allow spatial definition [1]. In mammals, this sense has been optimized to include, for instance, reduced optical aberrations by the presence of lenses with graded indices [2] and the accommodative ability of the lens in humans and other primates [3]. The eye lens is an avascular tissue contained within its own basement membrane and bathed in the eye humours. A single layer of epithelial cells covers the anterior hemisphere of the lens and progeny from these epithelial cells differentiate into fibre cells that comprise the mass of the lens. Epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation to form lens fibre cells are concentrated in the germinative (GZ) and transitional (TZ) zones of the lens epithelium at the lens equator [4,5]. Lens epithelial cells (LECs) differentiate into fibre cells in this `peripheral’ region of the epithelium, entering the body of the lens via the meridional rows (MR) in the TZ [6], where the timely, organized formation of fibre cells is regulated by, for instance, aPKCl [7] and src/ephrin A2 [8]. Such proteins ensure the maintenance of the geometric organization of the fibre cells, which is so important to lens function [3,9].

This peripheral region and specifically the GZ of the lens is known to be radiosensitive due to the concentration of proliferating cells located here [12,13]. Since the end of the nineteenth century, the eye lens has been known to be a radiosensitive tissue [14] and the heightened sensitivity of the lens compared with other ocular tissues was reported in 1929 [15].
