| Resumen |
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and aetiology of eye injuries and to propose preventive measures. It involved 41 patients who consulted the eye emergency department of a hospital in Madrid, Spain, in April 2006 and for whom data on age, sex, occupation, industry, supply and use of eye protection, recidivism, diagnosis and medical care were available. The results showed that 25.6% of the accidents were occupational; 87.2% of the victims were males and 85.4% worked in the construction sector; the most frequent diagnosis was the impact of foreign body; 51.2% of the workers were not supplied with safety spectacles and among those for whom they were available, 48% did not wear them. Close to half of the injuries required only ambulatory treatment, implying that suitable training of plant medical physicians may allow many of the injuries to be treated on site. |
