A Study of Occupational Hazards To the Eye

Dr Parul M. Danayak

Abstract :

A hospital based prospective study involving 46 patients was undertaken to find out the various agents responsible for occupational eye injuries. Majority of the patients suffered from blindness following injury with physical agents (41.3%). Few cases of severe thermal burns were found in teenagers working in firework factories. The ocular injuries predominantly affected the young adult population who were the sole earning members of the family. Since occupational eye injuries are common and preventable, there is an urgent need to set up safety precautions to prevent disabling eye injuries.
