Epidemiological studies on occupational eye pathology.

We examined 522 persons exposed to different types of non-ionizing radiation (UV, IR lasers) in the working environment. The control group consisted of 250 persons. The clinico-statistical analysis of occupational eye pathology depending on etiological factors, exposure time and age is presented.

[Various occupational diseases of the eyes caused by ultraviolet radiation].

Studies are performed on 87 workers--electric welders (for some of them they continued several years), 68.9% of the subjects have been in contact with ultraviolet radiation for a period of more than 10 years (length of service). There are data for passed acute form of electric ophthalmia, average 6.
