TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Eye Injuries A1 - Hu, Yang A2 - LaDou, Joseph A2 - Harrison, Robert J. PY - 2021 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Occupational & Environmental Medicine, 6e AB - The personal tragedy and economic loss associated with impaired vision or even blindness as a result of occupational eye injuries can be prevented by identifying workers at risk and instituting appropriate safety programs. Proper maintenance of tools and equipment by the employer and effective use of protective devices, such as safety glasses or face shields, by the employee will reduce the number of injuries, such as ocular contusions, trauma as a consequence of penetrating and nonpenetrating foreign bodies, conjunctival and corneal abrasions, lid lacerations, and optic nerve damage.
