Protecting Your Eyes

Much of the work performed in today's workplace relies on accurate vision to complete the task. However, work environments can be full of potential eye hazards. From eye strain to foreign objects, eye safety and protection are important considerations in many workplaces. These same hazards can come up while working and playing outside of the work environment.

In many cases, workers can make simple adjustments or use devices to help protect their eyes from potential hazards in the workplace. The AOA provides some helpful tips for workers who use computers, and work in industrial environments.

The AOA Clinical Care Group has also developed materials covering Occupational and Environmental Vision Factors.
