Abstract |
A rationale is presented for designing screening-type eye examinations to document visual capabilities for specific jobs or changes in visual function following exposure to specific ocular hazards. Possible applications to clinical situations are also discussed. A battery of tests that include contrast sensitivity, distortions in macular imaging and colour vision is detailed for use with 3 occupations: automobile driver licence applicants, visual display operators and laser users. |
