Contribution to research on radiation protection of the eyes

Description

The problem of the harmful effects of different radiations to which workers are more or less seriously exposed was studied as a whole. It is show that any ray without exception can cause damage to the ocular apparatus since even natural light, when suffered too intensely or for too long, can cause sight disorders and lesions, and this applied even more to so-called invisible rays: infrared, ultraviolet, laser. Powerful short-range radar waves and X, gamma and cosmic rays are also mentioned. This work covers both a physical study of the above radiations and a clinical anatomical study on the pathogenesis of the eye lesions they cause (more or less serious and more or less irreversible damage to the retina, cornea, crystalline lens, conjunctive tissue). General and individual protective measures are reported, and finally the work laws are discussed in terms of their application to radiation-induced eye troubles

Abstract (French)

On a etudie dans son ensemble le probleme des effets nocifs des divers rayonnements auxquels les travailleurs sont plus ou moins gravement soumis. On a montre qu'il n'est point de rayon qui ne puisse etre nuisible au niveau de l'appareil oculaire, puisque meme la lumiere naturelle, lorsque ses effets sont trop intenses ou trop prolonges, peut provoquer des troubles et des lesions de la vue; a fortiori, les rayons dits invisibles, infra-rouges, ultra-violets, le laser. On a cite egalement les ondes Radar a forte puissance et a faible distance, les rayons X, gamma et cosmiques. On a realise, a la fois l'etude physique de ces radiations, l'etude anatomo-clinique et pathogenique des lesions oculaires provoquees (atteintes plus ou moins serieuses, plus ou moins irreversibles, au niveau de la retine, de la cornee, du cristallin, de la conjonctive). On a expose les mesures de protection tant generales qu'individuelles et enfin la legislation du travail telle qu'elle peut etre appliquee aux atteintes de l'oeil par les rayonnements
