The injuries which may result from unintentional exposure (such as to VDUs), as well as ocular hazards, are described in detail. Also discussed are the various types of eye-protectors available, together with details of eye protection programs. The book is illustrated throughout with clear line diagrams which clarify and supplement the text. It is essential reading for all occupational optometrists and optometrists in training.North, Rachel V. is the author of 'Work and the Eye', published 1994 under ISBN 9780192618856 and ISBN 0192618857.
