title: [The condition of the eye in electrolytic shop workers in a Tadzhik aluminum plant suffering from autonomovascular dystonia].
abstract: Examinations of 1000 workers of electrolysis shops at the Tadjik aluminum plant have shown that, along with the physical factors of electrolysis process, excessive concentrations of fluorine compounds, surpassing the maximum permissible levels, essentially contribute to the development of ocular abnormalities. Comparison of ophthalmic morbidity rate and structure in the workers suffering from arterial hypertension has demonstrated that systemic diseases and ocular conditions develop irrespectively of each other. Vascular disorders in the retina and the hemo- and hydrodynamic characteristics of ocular function, detected in the patients with systemic arterial hypertension, indicate a common trigger mechanism of such disorders, depending on the endogenous effects of physical and chemical factors of aluminum production.
