Long-term exposure increases the risk of cataracts and retinal damage. Precautions at the Workplace Always wear welding helmets with proper UV and IR filters. Use protective goggles for nearby workers. Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid fumes irritating the eyes. Regular eye check-ups for early detection of damage. Signs and Symptoms Immediate: Eye pain, redness, excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, and a gritty sensation. Severe cases: Blurred vision, corneal ulcers, or temporary blindness. Treatment First Aid: Rinse the eyes with sterile saline and avoid rubbing. Apply prescribed lubricating drops or antibiotics for infection prevention. For severe cases, consult an ophthalmologist for advanced care like removing foreign bodies or treating burns.
