Industrial safety glasses -- an update.

A review is presented of recent significant developments in industrial protective eyewear. Many of these developments apply to everyday practice. The new plastic protective, prescription, and plano lenses are discussed, and their merits presented. Needs for protection in the ultraviolet and near-infrared portions of the electromagnetic spectrum are described. It is shown that such spectral protection is now available in plastic lenses, but care must be taken to insure that the plastic has the required ultraviolet and near-infrared absorption. Eye protection standards have been improved. Specific changes in the standards are discussed.

Reducing the risk of eye contamination.

The recent case of an Italian nurse waiting for compensation after contracting HIV from a splash to her eye (1) has highlighted the serious risk of contracting infection through the eye conjunctiva. In this article, the author suggests nurses need to take more notice of recommendations and guidelines that they should wear eye protection when performing procedures likely to cause splashes to the eye.

[The eyelid of the competitive swimmer].

Two cases of pseudo-baggy eyelid localized to the medial part of the superior lid are described. This peculiar feature occurred in two teenagers girls who regularly wore hard plastic protective goggles during swimming competition. Wearing goggles is probably responsible for the development of this new, and to our knowledge, previously unreported syndrome. Clinicians should be aware of the typical signs and require about swimming practices in young women who present with an unusually baggy eyelid.

Protecting your eyes in the laser operating room.

1. Laser protective eyewear is nearly as important to the OR nurse as the surgical mask in an operating room where laser surgery is performed. 2. Most hospitals require OR personnel to wear protective eyewear during laser procedures in voluntary compliance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136.3 for the safe use of lasers in health care facilities. 3. The basic steps to protecting your eyes are as follows: Select the appropriate eyewear (plastic or glass); make sure the eyewear fits properly; wear the protective lenses during laser testing and operation; and heed your laser safety officer.

[Eye injuries during hobby-work using machine tools].

Data from the EU-project EHLASS (European Home and Leisure Accident Surveillance System) collected from five Danish hospitals during the period 1989-1991 contained 185,551 accidents occurring at home and during leisure time. The population in the catchment area is approximately 700,000. Of these accidents, 9900 involved eye-injury, 2940 of these occurred during hobby-activities, and 1460 of these while the subject was using either drilling-, welding- or grinding-equipment. The incidence of eye-injuries occurring during the use of these machines has risen from 0.6/1000/year in 1989 to 0.7/1000/year in 1990 and to 0.8/1000/year in 1991. In 98% of the cases the patients were men, 30% were between 20 and 29 years of age. A common activity at the time of the accident was "car-repairing". Foreign-body-lesions were seen in 60% of the cases, and actinic conjunctivitis in 30%. None of the injuries were serious, but they were often very painful and demanding of resources. All the injuries could have been avoided by the use of proper eye protection.

Eye injury in sport: incidence, biomechanics, clinical effects and prevention.

The incidence of eye injury in sport is rising and is a matter for concern. The mechanics of blunt eye injury and its clinical effects are described. The sports causing particular concern are squash and badminton, where protective spectacles are used too infrequently. The need for, and methods of, injury prevention in sport are discussed.
