Pharmaceutical industry workers face various potential threats to their eyes and vision. Whether from medicinal liquids, powders, vapors, or hazardous tools, it's essential to protect pharmaceutical employees from:
Exposure to corrosive chemicals during synthesis, formulation, or cleaning processes can cause severe burns and eye injuries.
Airborne particles from raw materials, finished products, or cleaning agents can irritate the eyes and potentially lead to corneal abrasions or infections.
Exposure to ultraviolet light from certain equipment or processes can damage the cornea and conjunctiva, leading to conditions like photokeratitis or cataracts.
Prolonged close-up work, such as microscope use or tablet inspection, can strain the eyes and contribute to conditions like computer vision syndrome.
In certain specialized areas, such as laser engraving or cutting, direct or reflected laser beams can cause severe eye burns or even blindness.
Handling of microorganisms or biological materials can lead to eye infections if proper safety measures are not followed.
Developing pharmaceutical products involves handling various compounds that can be toxic or irritating. This necessitates the use of personal protective equipment to guard against splashes, sprays, and airborne inhalants. Protective eyewear, whether prescription or non-prescription, is not only legally required but also essential for safety. However, not all "safety" eyeglasses are suitable. Safety prescription eyewear must correct the user's vision as effectively as their everyday glasses while meeting safety standards for fit and impact resistance
