Our eyes are the most essential component of our sensory system. Their continuous exposure to the environment makes them susceptible to diseases and injuries. Leading ophthalmologists are well aware about the risks associated with negligence in case of occupational eye injuries or diseases. The defects may range from low risk to high risk where loss of sight might become inevitable. Thus addressing this topic carries relevance both for the medical community as well as the public at large. We will be looking at the various aspects of the diseases and injuries whereby recommending strategies for prevention, timely diagnosis & treatment.
