Industrial vision revisited.

With the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and other government agencies addressing the protection of employees from occupational hazards at their work place, there has been a reemphasis in the industrial eye care field. Industrial vision programs are reviewed and an overview of the Army's occupational vision program is presented. If optometry is to continue progress in this sphere of public health, optometrists must become more involved in and knowledgeable of the visual requirements of the local industrial community, and the profession should consider the establishment of a certification program for occupational doctors of optometry.

Ocular medical surveillance on microwave and laser workers.

Results of over 800 medical surveillance ocular examinations on microwave and laser workers were evaluated using multiple regression analysis techniques. No lenticular or retinal defects were noted that could be attributed to work with either microwave or laser radiation. Increased incidences of minute lenticular defects were noted with increasing age. A high variability in the recording of such defects at different locations was attributed to differences in the subjective evaluation of individual examiners. It was concluded that periodic medical surveillance as conducted on the microwave and laser workers under study was nonproductive and suggestions were made to limit medical surveillance for these worker groups to preassignment, postaccident exposure, and termination eye examinations.
