| Abstract |
This review discusses: corneal lesions resulting from adhesion of airborne particles to the lens; absorption of irritating vapours by the lens material; local hypoaesthesia due to the lens itself; lesions due to hot, dry environments; formation of gas bubbles between the lens and cornea in sudden decompression; sudden detachment of the lens when forced ventilation helmets are worn; adhesion of the lens to the cornea as a result of exposure to infrared radiation and the electric arc. General prevention measures are proposed and suitable filter screens are recommended for workers exposed to infrared or electric arc radiation.
