| Abstract |
A field study of the functional and clinical state of the visual system of dentists showed that significant changes in certain parameters of vision are detectable by the end of a work day. The frequency of cases in which visual acuity is less than 10/10 among subjects more than 40 years old is quite high. The performance of a high-precision task at a short distance is a considerable strain on the visual system and the central nervous system. There is a high risk of infections and wounds of the eyeball in the profession. |
