Eye injuries occurring in the workplace are serious occupational hazards with potentially serious consequences for employees and businesses. In the United States alone, more than 2,000 people need medical attention every day due to work-related eye injuries, one-third of them need emergency treatment in the hospital, and more than 100 people miss work for one or more days. According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates, the annual loss (construction delay, medical expenses, workers' compensation) caused by eye injury exceeds 300 million US dollars.
