| Abstract |
The state of the visual analyser and its functional changes due to the work performed were studied in 60 female workers engaged in checking the quality of ampoules in a pharmaceutical plant. There was a high percentage of complaints about the visual system as well as high visual strain at the end of the working day, due to the small size of the objects to be checked and the irregular illumination of the visual field, as well as to the high rate of work. Pathological changes were found in the anterior segment and the fundus of the eye in a great number of the workers. It is recommended that workers have thorough eye examinations before employment and at regular intervals thereafter, and that workers be given a 10min break every 2h (away from the workplace if possible). |
