The Prevention of Eye Injuries

Abstract

The Significance of this Class of Injury THE vast and far‐reaching effect of an eye injury is seldom fully realized, either by the worker or by the management, a fact which, no doubt, explains much of the prevalent disregard of preventive measures. A worker who sustains an eye accident, and goes off duty, disappears for a varying period of time from the ken of his shop manager and workmates in much the same way as one who has sustained a simple laceration of the hand or arm, yet to the medical and compensation departments his case may present far greater problems.
