Abstract:
In sixty workers exposed to the absorption of large amounts of lead, stippling of the retina was searched by direct retinoscopy and eye-fundi photography. Fifty patients had clinical manifestations of lead poisoning and the other ten did not, but showed evidences of lead accumulation. Non of the patients had stippling of the retina; however, functional alterations were detected in the muscles of the eye in seven lead poisoned patients. In 25 patients there were also other kinds of retinal alteration, unrelated to lead poisoning.
