    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Optometry
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and governmental regulations emphasize workplace safety.
    • This has led to a renewed focus on industrial eye care and vision programs.
    • Existing industrial vision programs require review and potential enhancement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current industrial vision programs.
    • To present an overview of the U.S. Army's occupational vision program.
    • To advocate for increased optometrist engagement in industrial eye health.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on industrial vision programs.
    • Analysis of the U.S. Army's occupational vision program structure and function.

  • Discussion of the role of optometry in occupational health.

    • Main Results:

    • Industrial vision programs are a critical component of workplace safety.
    • The U.S. Army has a structured occupational vision program.
    • There is a need for greater optometrist involvement in understanding industrial visual demands.

    Conclusions:

    • Optometrists must become more knowledgeable about the visual requirements within local industries.
    • The optometry profession should consider developing a certification for occupational specialists.
    • Enhanced optometrist participation can improve public health outcomes in industrial settings.
