Abstract
In a comparative study of welders and taxi drivers in Benin City, Nigeria, it was found that the former suffer from pterygium, gritty eye, conjunctivitis and lachrymation more than the latter. These problems are seen as occupational hazards. It was also found that a statistically significant number of welders who do not wear any sort of eye protection during welding tend to complain of gritty eyes and suffer from pterygium, conjunctivitis and lachrymation. Although some welders have good reasons for not wearing them, most are not aware of the more important function of eye protectors. Recommendations were made to welders and to the Health Authorities on ways of controlling eye morbidity.
