Abstract Examination of representative groups of workers with various occupational activities revealed considerable alterations in the visual system within 1 working day, including elevation of the threshold of electric sensitivity of the eye towards the end of the day, reduction of brightness and colour discrimination, recession of the closest point of clear vision and reduction of fusion ability. The adaptation of the visual system to working conditions is best in the age range 25-35. Alterations in visual function are far greater in the age group over 40.
