[Visual fatigue as an occupational pathology problem in ophthalmology]

A study of incidence and peculiarities of visual fatigue in workers of visually strained, in particular, precision labour (about two thousand subjects) has shown a connection between visual fatigue and the character and conditions of work. This allows to consider visual fatigue from positions of professional pathology. The attention is drawn to necessity to consider results of scientific researches in the field of industrial ophthalmology, ophthalmological ergonomics and professional pathology of the eye as well as in their further active development.
