[Functional changes in the visual analyzer of female personnel in quality control of ampules]

The state of the visual apparatus as well as the changes in the functional state of the visual functions, due to the work performed, were studied in 60 female workers checking up the quality of ampoules. The eyes were clinically examined with a view to detection of eye diseases. The results revealed a high percentage of complaints from the visual system, high visual strain, due to the small size of the details to be checked and the irregular illumination of the visual field and the high rate of work. Pathological changes were found in the anterior segment and fundus of the eyes in a great number of the workers. Recommendations are proposed for the optimization of the work in that kind of activity.
