To assess occupational eye lens dose based on clinical monitoring of interventional radiologists and to assess personal protective eyewear (PPE) efficacy through measurements with anthropomorphic phan...
Two positions of the operator with respect to X-ray beam were simulated with phantom. Dose reduction factor (DRF) of four PPE was assessed, as well as correlation between eye lens and whole-body doses...
DRF was 4.3/2.4 for wraparound glasses, 4.8/1.9 for fitover glasses, 9.1/6.8 for full-face visor in radial/femoral geometries. DRF of half-face visor depended on how it is worn (range 1.0-4.9). Statis...
All PPE showed significant DRF in all configurations, provided they were worn correctly. Single DRF value is not applicable to all clinical situations. KAP is a valuable tool for determining appropria...
The lens of the eye can be damaged by ionising radiation, so individuals whose eyes are exposed to radiation during their work may need to protect their eyes from exposure. Lead glasses are widely ava...
We present four cases of ocular surface and adnexal appendage injuries resulting from exposure to hazardous materials in various industrial occupations. These injuries occurred due to the absence of p...
A variety of robot-assisted surgical systems have been proposed to improve the precision of eye surgery. Evaluation of these systems has typically relied on benchtop experiments with artificial or enu...
During the COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) pandemic, traditional medical goggles are not only easy to attach bacteria and viruses in long-term exposure, but easy to fogged up, which increases the...
Due to hazardous working conditions, welders are more likely to be exposed to mild to severe eye issues during the welding process. Globally, this issue is a major contributor to vision loss and blind...
This review aimed to assess the pooled prevalence of ocular protection practice and associated factors among welders in sub-Saharan Africa....
Databases including PubMed, Scopus, web of Science, Google Scholar, and the African Journals Online were systematically searched for relevant literature. The statistical analysis was performed using S...
From retrieved 2,326 original studies, 17 studies were included in the final pooled prevalence analysis. The overall prevalence of ocular protection practice among small-scale welders in sub-Saharan A...
In sub-Saharan African countries, the ocular protection practices among small-scale welders were low. Furthermore, the current meta-analysis found ocular protection practice to be significantly associ...
A quantitative assessment of the blue light hazard for the human eye related to direct solar irradiation is presented. For six radiation situations, missing eye protection was compared to protection b...
The use of screen-enabled handheld devices has increased exponentially during the last few years among the older adults. Up until now, a general suggestion for preventing symptoms of digital eye strai...
The aim of this study was to examine whether correcting presbyopia ameliorates the negative effect on digital screen use, examining handheld devices where these issues are expected to be more acute wi...
This is a cross-sectional study of 120 consecutive participants who had received correction for presbyopia during the past month and returned for a routine follow-up examination. The participants fill...
The DESQ factor scores and total score correlated with the near addition ( P < .001). Higher DESQ scores were associated (by order of magnitude) with higher near addition and a lower amount of time sp...
Results indicate that older adults are at an additional disadvantage while using handheld screen-enabled devices compared with younger adults: they are more likely to be presbyopes and need higher nea...
Eye injuries from sports, activities, and work are a leading cause of vision loss in youth. Most eye injuries can be prevented with protective eyewear. An open-ended survey on youth perspectives on ey...
In the development of eye and face protection standards against biological hazards, it is important to consider that the eye and face protectors may be used in the outdoor environment, where ultraviol...
Spectral transmittances (280-780 nm) were measured on eight face shields and one goggle of the types used in hospital and clinical environments, three overhead projector sheets and an occupational imp...
All the face shields and goggle lenses were made of variants of the same material. All the samples, including the overhead projector sheets, complied with the requirements of the sunglass standards (f...
Since all the lenses complied with the sunglass standards for UV protection, and there appears to be uniformity in the choice of materials in this product type, there is no need to make provision, as ...
