Exposure to Infrared Light: Case Series

Öz

INTRODUCTION
Infrared rays(IR) have been used in many areas in recent years and nowadays, many devices have been developed with the aim of heating in open,closed areas working with infrared technology.IR can cause retinopathy.They have the risk of developing periocular skin burns, corneal epitheliopathy,retinopathy.In this study, we wanted to talk about eight cases who were exposure with infrared light in a chemical manufacturing factory where Infrared light was used for drying and all of 8 patients had burning, stinging, watering,redness in the eyes.
