title: [The characteristics of the work process of dental technicians and their body functional status in the dynamics of work activities].
abstract: The article presents in the ophthalmoergonomic aspect data from studies on the character of labour activity, condition of visual organs, vision conditions, and functions of the visual analyzer in dental mechanics. It has been ascertained that during the labour process, it is the functions of accommodation and contrast sensitivity of the eye that bear the highest strain (P < 0.05), and by the vision conditions delineation, the dental mechanic's work is on the list of those jobs requiring high visual efficiency (III B category of visual jobs according to the adopted and enforced standards classification), which facts necessitate ensuring high levels of illumination. Recommendatory measures are presented designed to prevent in dental mechanics general and visual fatigue (eyestrain and to maintain their capacity for work.
