Abstract: In 2011,ICRP remarkably decreased the occupational dose limit for eye lens in its 118th publication. This change leads to unprecedented focus on the eye lens dose monitoring related problems. Recently, a series of related papers were published and somecosiderable progress were achieved. These progress may include: the suitability to use dosimeters in terms of Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) for eye lens dose monitoring has been determined; ORAMED project supported by European Commission has developed the special eye lens dose monitoring TLD dosimeter which named EYE-D as well as the special cylinder phantom for calibration use, Behrens et.al have established a sophisticated eye calculating model. With these important background, this paper first concludes the reason why ICRP decreased the dose limit, then gives a comprehensive review to these new approached mentioned above. This paper aims to provide reference for the research and experiment on eye lens dose in China in the future.
