Contact lens use in industry is controversial. National eye organizations recommend that companies establish their own policies on contact lens use. A survey questionnaire was sent to 100 corporations to gather descriptive data on the existence and content of their policies. Data were collected on policy enforcement, areas of contact lens restriction and basis for restriction, identification of workers who wear contacts, and use of eye protection. Among the 67 respondents, 43 companies have a policy on contact lens use. It was found that companies need to identify workers who wear contact lenses. The decision whether or not to allow the use of contact lenses in the industrial environment appeared to be dependent upon the perceived level of risk in a specific environment. More importantly, the current written policies do not appear to recognize the results of recent research. Guidelines for contact lens use in industry are presented.
在工业领域使用隐形眼镜存在争议。国家眼科组织建议企业制定自己关于隐形眼镜使用的政策。向100家公司发送了一份调查问卷，以收集有关其政策的存在情况和内容的描述性数据。收集了有关政策执行情况、隐形眼镜使用受限的领域及受限依据、佩戴隐形眼镜的工人的识别情况以及眼部防护用品使用情况的数据。在67名受访者中，43家公司有关于隐形眼镜使用的政策。研究发现，企业需要识别佩戴隐形眼镜的工人。在工业环境中是否允许使用隐形眼镜的决定似乎取决于特定环境中感知到的风险水平。更重要的是，目前的书面政策似乎并未认可近期研究的结果。本文给出了工业领域隐形眼镜使用的指导原则。
