OBJECTIVE
To study transient risk factors for occupational eye injuries.
METHODS
A case-crossover study was conducted among patients treated for occupational eye injuries in the emergency department at an eye hospital in Alabama. A questionnaire was administered to collect information regarding risk factors at the time of and prior to eye treatment. Incidence rate ratios were used to measure the relationship between each risk factor and injury occurrence.
RESULTS
Protective eyewear reduced the risk of occupational eye injury, while increased risk was observed for the following: being distracted, use of tools, tool malfunction, performing an unfamiliar task, being rushed, working overtime, and feeling fatigued.
CONCLUSIONS
Although use of protective eyewear can significantly reduce the risk of an eye injury, other factors are important contributors. Identification of potentially modifiable transient risk factors can be used to prevent occupational eye injuries.
目的
研究职业性眼外伤的瞬时危险因素。
方法
在阿拉巴马州一家眼科医院的急诊科，对接受职业性眼外伤治疗的患者进行了病例交叉研究。通过问卷调查收集眼外伤治疗前后与危险因素相关的信息。采用发病率比来衡量每个危险因素与损伤发生之间的关系。
结果
防护眼镜可降低职业性眼外伤的风险，而分心、使用工具、工具故障、执行不熟悉的任务、匆忙、加班和疲劳会增加眼外伤的风险。
结论
虽然使用防护眼镜可以显著降低眼外伤的风险，但其他因素也很重要。识别潜在的可改变的瞬时危险因素可用于预防职业性眼外伤。
