Q

Chemical Hazards

A

True ocular emergency. From generally either strongly basic or acidic compounds. Severity is determined by the type, volume, concentration, duration of exposure and degree of the penetration. Protein coagulation of the cornea usually prevents acids from penetrating into the cornea. Alkaline substances penetrate the cornea and enter anterior chamber. Responsible for 7% of work-related eye injuries. Following chemical insult to the eye, the degree of blanching of the limbal vessel is the most significant indicator for future corneal healing

Q

Physical Hazards

A

Smoke and Dust hazard, radiation hazards (UV from welding), high intensity irradiations may have latency periods of only 30 mins before onset of symptoms, low intensity exposures may have latencies as much as 24 hours before onset of symptoms. Infrared radiation injuries (high temp furnaces, certain lasers) thermal effect of IR is more permanent than UV damage, produces cataracts. IR has latency of 15 to 20 years.

48
Q

Environmental Lighting

A

Two major components, quantity (amount of light), quality (color, brightness, glare, uniform illumination)

49
Q

Direct Lighting

A

Most efficient lighting system, prone to producing harsh shadows and marked reflections from the work surface

50
Q

Indirect Lighting

A

Provides diffuse lighting with minimal shadowing and reflections, less efficient due to absorption from the reflecting surfaces

51
Q

Supplemental Lighting

A

Incandescent-goose neck lamo

Fluorescent with parabolic louver

52
Q

Determining Illumination Levels

A

Based on system adopted by the IESNA: determine the task characteristics, determine the criticality of the task, determine the age of the users

53
Q

Object color

A

The perceived or spectral color of an object based on its reflecting characteristics of the illuminating source

54
Q

Color

A

Important for jobs which require color matching, different light sources produce different colors

55
Q

Color Rendering

A

How natural and normal will a light source make thins appear compared to natural sunlight. Color rendering index: scale of 1-100, , incandescent is 100. Indoor lighting 80-85. Lss pressure sodium is basically 0.

56
Q

Correlated Color Temperature

A

A relatively simple metric through which source appearance can be quantified. Useful vecuase light sources emit light that is viewed as having a particular whiteness that may be/is different from another source. Equates the appearance of a source to a blackbody radiator operating at the same temperature.

57
Q

Lighting conditions for color testing

A

Daylight, Macbeth Lamp (approximates natural sunlight)

58
Q

Glare

A

Relatively bright light which interferes with optimal vision, or produces discomfort

59
Q

Distracting Glare

A

Caused by lens reflections

60
Q

Discomfort Glare

A

Sensation of irritation or pain from sources of light in the field of view. Prevented by avoiding large bright areas within a space, limiting luminance ratios to less than 10:1, indirect lighting systems

61
Q

Disability Glare

A

Causes objects to have lower contrast than they would have if there were no glare, similar to turning on the room lights while watching a slide show, increases the brightness of the background and lowers the brightness of the object, washes out what you are looking at

62
Q

Reflected Glare

A

Glare caused by reflected light sources, example is the glare off a shiny page in a book when held at the wrong angle when reading, if all surfaces were diffusely reflecting and all lighting indirect, reflected glare would not be a problem. Elimination of reflected glare: change position of task or light, use a dull or matte finish on a surface, change light source, change lighting type

63
Q

Uniformity of Illumination

A

IESNA considers illumination to be uniform if the maximum and minimum levels are not more than 1/6 above or below the average level. Closer spaced lights improve uniformity

64
Q

Brightness Ratio

A

A 3:1 or 1:3 ratio is good for most near work and tasks, higher ratios are more comfortable for more distant tasks, up to 40:1 is seldom used storage or outdoor activities. Brightness ratios are important in playing ball, changing the oil in your car, threading a needle, and reading

65
Q

Luminaire Source Efficiency and Color rendition Index table

A

Incandescent has poor efficiency (17-23), but great CRI (100). Low pressure sodium is 10x more efficient (170) than incandescent, but CRI is nonexistent (0). Fluorescent (70-80) CRI:(50-90)

66
Q

67
Q

Laser Radiation

A

Travels through space as an EM wave, highly directional, monochromatic, exhibits coherence

68
Q

Coherence

A

Collimated light that is in the same phase, same wavelength, and traveling in the same direction

69
Q

Laser output can be described by:

A

Pulse duration, Irradiance, wavelength

70
Q

Pulse Duration

A

Pulsed lasers produce exposure that range from femtoseconds to milliseconds, continuous wave lasers produce longer exposures; pulse durations of 0.25 second or longer are considered to be continuous wave`

71
Q

Irradiance

A

Incident laser power per unit area delivered to a target surface. Irradiance= power/area (watts/cm2). Depends on the laser spot size and power (lower spots size will increase irradiance for a particular power)

72
Q

Wavelength

A

Determines how effectively light is captured by the tissue target (absorption) and how well light penetrates overlying media to reach a tissue target. Ophthalmic Laser wavelengths: UV (100-380), visible(380-760), IR (760-1)

73
Q

76
Q

Specular Reflection

A

A mirror like reflection, remember, the angle of incidence is between the normal and the light ray, not between the surface and the light ray. The angle of incidence= the angle of reflection in specular reflection. This is a more troublesome issue with lasers: unwanted reflection

77
Q

Diffuse

A

The change of the spatial direction of a beam of radiation when it is reflected in many directions by a surface or a medium. Just because the beam is disrupted doesn’t mean that it is safe, a class 4 can cause a fire secondary to a diffused laser beam issue.

Extensive damage to Retina, usually macula

93
Q

Laser Eye protection

A

Attenuation Effect, refers the decrease in radiation power as a laser beam passes through an absorbing or scattering medium, works by blocking or hugely reducing the power/intensity of particular wavelengths that enter the eye. Wavelength specific, protective eyewear must be selected for wavelength of light employed by the laser. Laser glasses are laser specific, not just for any laser! Optical density must be appropriate to laser output (power)

94
Q

Standard Alignment of Nosepads

A

There is a specific standard alignment for nosepads that should be used during the preliminary adjustment of the frame

95
Q

Frontal Angle of Nosepads

A

Like a chickens wings, when viewed from the front, refers to vertical positions of pads, tops of pads closer together than bottoms, angles in approx 20 degrees from a true vertical

96
Q

Splay angle of nosepads

A

Like the miss America wave, view from above, you will want the face of the pads rest fully on the nose; nose is wider at the base than the bridge, therefore, back edges of pads should be further apart than the front edges, about 25-30 degrees

97
Q

Vertical angle of nose pads

A

Like signaling to park an airplane, view from the side, probably the most neglected angle, pad bottoms are slightly closert to the frame front than the top, approximately 15 degrees

98
Q

Ideal pad face distance from frame

A

Pads should have same amount of rock, same amount of play, both pads also should be at same height, faces of nosepads approx 1mm closer to the nose than the actual eyewire

99
Q

Frame Adjustment

A
  1. Temple Spread
  2. Equality of lens vertex distance
  3. Pantoscopic tilt of frame front
  4. Frame Straightness
  5. Nose pad adjustments
  6. Temple position and bend, lateral pressure, earpiece curl
100
Q

Final nosepad adjusment frame goal

A

Achieve the correct frame height, proper vertex distance

101
Q

Final nosepad adjustment pad specifics

A

Pads halfway between nose crest an nasal canthus, long pad diameter perpendicular to floor with head erect, full surface of pad resting uniformly on the nose

102
Q

Widening the distance between pads

A

Tilt the top of the pliers temporally making the pivot point the pad attachment point on the arm. Tilt the bottom of the pliers temporally making the pivot point the top of the pads arm’s inverted U. Why? The frame is too high on the face, the bifocal or trifocal segments are too high, the progressive addition fitting cross the heights are too high, the bridge is too small for the nose, the lenses are too far from the eyes

103
Q

Narrowing the distance between the pads

A

Tilt the top of the pliers nasally making the pivot point the pad attachment point on the pad arm, tilt the bottom of the pliers nasally making the pivot point the top of the pad arm’s inverted U. Why? The frame sits too low on the face, the bifocal or trifocal segments are too low, the progressive addition fitting cross heights are too low, the bridge is too large for the nose, the lashes rub the back surface of the lenses

104
Q

Moving Frame Right or Left

A

Need to move the frame right, move pads to the right (same for left)

105
Q

Final Nosepad adjustment Check

A

Is the distance between the pads correct, are the pads on the correct part of the nose, do the splay angles of the pads match the splay angles of the nose, do the frontal angles of the pads match the frontal angles of the nose, do the vertical angles of the pads equal the pantoscopic angle of the frame front, do the pads fit flat on the surface of the nose

106
Q

To move frame away from face

A

Narrow adjustable nose pads, increase effective length of pad arms, shrink bridge, decrease face form

107
Q

To move frame close to face

A

Widen adjustable nose pads, decrease effective length of pad arms, stretch bridge, increase face form

108
Q

To move frame higher on face

A

Narrow distance between nosepads, lower vertical position of nosepads, shrink bridge

109
Q

To move frame lower on face

A

Widen distance between nosepads, raise vertical position of nose pads stretch the bridge

110
Q

To move frame off the cheeks

A

Decrease pantoscopic tilt, raise the frame, increase vertex distance

111
Q

To move frame off the brow

A

Increase pantoscopic tilt, lower the frame, increase vertex distance

112
Q

Possible benefits of CLs in the work environment

A 
Increased VA
Enhanced visual field
Decreased reflections
Better performance in the rain, mist
Less problem with perspiration
Less likely to smear or smudge
No fogging
Better seal with mask or goggles
113
Q

Potential Chemical Hazards on CL

A

Hard: the chance of a chemical becoming trapped behind the lens is unlikey; substance would be eliminated rapidly by tear flow
Soft: Water soluble gases and fumes and substances capable of being absorbed into a hydrogel material might prolong exposure with a more severe response. No extended contact wear, frequent replacement

114
Q

Potential Mechanical Hazards on CL

A

Hard: the chance of a foreign body becoming trapped behind the lens is possible, lens could shatter with enough striking energy
Soft: may provide slightly more protection from foreign bodies striking the eye

115
Q

Potential physical hazards on CL (temp extremes, IR and UV radiation, microwaves)

A

depending on absorption characteristics of the CL material, contact lens will not have a deleterious effect and may have a small positive effect. No greater risk but NOT a substitute for eye protection
