Abstract

To describe the role of an ophthalmic optician in the eye protection activities of occupational health care this paper concerns the basic training of the opticians in Finland, the optoergonomics courses, the importance of eye protection activities, and the role of an optician in the protection of eyes and vision at work. It is concluded that it is important to correct the refraction of the employees, because the workers with poor vision have more industrial accidents than those with normal vision. A programme created to increase the use of eye protectors indicates the role of the optician in eye protection activities.
