Abstract Results of ophthalmological examinations in 46 trichloroethylene- and 64 chlorine-production workers: an initial increase in secretion of aqueous humour declined after several years' exposure, with a reduction in intraocular pressure. These effects were accompanied by hypertension of the arteries of the eye and functional disturbances of the visual analyser.
