Abstract
In an ophthalmic survey of 3676 industrial workers in Kaduna, Nigeria 395 industrial workers had ocular defects. The anterior segment of the eye was affected. A wide spectrum of other eye diseases was seen. Of the workers, 92 had poor vision in 1 or both eyes or had totally lost the vision in 1 eye. Considerable morbidity, especially in the form of chronic conjunctivitis, resulted from mechanical irritation of the eyes in 1 factory. Industrial accident resulted in loss of vision in only 2 workers.
