subjectAbstract

Conclusion

The study provides useful and baseline data about the corneal injuries & prevalence of opacity amongst the daily wages workers of Navi Mumbai. A larger study needs to be conducted in all the subdivisions of the state to get a clearer picture of corneal opacity and other eye related diseases to detect vision problems as early as possible to provide the needful assessment to the labourers. Timely intervention for eye examination plays an important role to protect these workers from becoming blind because once there is an injury it needs treatment as soon as possible. If not then the condition can get worse & it might slowly-slowly hamper vision. Active screening and timely intervention will not only help in vision restoration but will also influence the awareness of health & continuous wages work to earn for livelihood.
