Ophthalmologists told what professions are most harmful to the eyes.
Experts of the international Council of ophthalmology has compiled a list of professions that are most harmful to human eyes.
Thus, the greatest strain on the eyes worried about the programmers, welders and workshop personnel. These professions lead to a loss of visual acuity.
– If to speak about programming, many hours sitting in front of the monitor leads at least to fatigue accommodative muscle of the eye. If it happens every day, there is osteopatia – chronic fatigue, – says Marina, Shevkalenko, candidate of medical science, ophthalmologist of the highest category. – Also, since the eye is constantly forced to focus on close-up object, refraction changes, and gradually develop myopia. Therefore, almost every programmer risks to get to work, not only wages, but also professional myopia.
Besides, many hours working at the computer develops the so-called “dry eye syndrome”. After all, the man looking at the monitor, almost not blinking. So dry the cornea and thereby increase the risk of inflammatory processes in the eye.
As for the two professions, the eyes of welders and workers at the plants can suffer from injury due to metal chips or other foreign bodies, chemical substances, and also from the bright light. Due to the latter suffering the retina and can develop macular degeneration, damaged when a power of the retina). Therefore, when such work must be special protective glasses with filters.
The following professions were distributed in the ranking of the most harmful to the eyes: microsurgery, aircraft pilots, technicians, teachers, editors of texts, jewelers.
These professions require strain eyes and focus on small details. For example, in microsurgery, teachers, editors, jewelers, tends to worsen the so-called vision – that is, they can’t see distant objects well see near. So, teachers are forced to spend hours to grade papers, glancing at the letters, the editors re-read large amounts of texts, jewellers strain the eyes to perform precise miniature work, which leads to eye strain and blurred vision. The pilots suffer from constant vibration or pressure changes – and it affects visual acuity.
In General, the vision should be protected from the youth, because to return it very difficult. Therefore, in any job make it a habit every 45 minutes to break away from Affairs and to take breaks is to look into the distance, to perform basic exercises (move eyes up and down, left and right, in circles, close-open at a different pace). These simple actions improve eye blood circulation, strengthen muscles, moisten the eye, finally, give it a rest.
In addition, at least once a year to pass preventive examination by an ophthalmologist to check visual acuity. And after 40 years it is desirable also to check the eye and eye pressure.
