Article Synopsis
  • - This study explored the link between visual field contrast sensitivity and pesticide exposure among agricultural workers by comparing two groups: one exposed to pesticides and a non-exposed control group.
  • - Results showed that those exposed to pesticides had higher neurotoxic symptoms, increased Substance P levels, and lower cholinesterase levels, as well as significantly reduced contrast sensitivity in their visual fields, especially around the optic nerve head.
  • - The findings suggest that visual field assessments could be an effective way to understand and evaluate potential health risks associated with pesticide exposure, particularly regarding retinal toxicity.
