AUTOR(ES)

Weale, R A

RESUMO

A suggestion that protective eye gear can pose a threat either to the crystalline lens or to the retina is examined from an epidemiological point of view. It is concluded that it may accentuate a pre-existing high-risk hazard but has little significance for low-risk hazards.
