Abigail Biney, Senior Nursing Officer at Koforidua SDA hospital, has advised Welders to take good care of their eyes since they are exposed to harmful gases and metal particles.
Welding, she claims, may be a dangerous and unhealthy technique if done without the right safety procedures.
Welders should wear strong leather gloves and protective long sleeve coats, according to Abigail Biney, to avoid being exposed to high heat and flames.
The eye expert explained glaucoma to Okley Kofi Solomon on the ‘Me Nkwa’ health show on Bryt 99.1 FM. Glaucoma is a collection of eye illnesses that affect the optic nerve, which is essential for normal vision.
Glaucoma is one of the top causes of blindness in the country, according to an eye expert.
Many types of glaucoma have no warning signals, according to her, and you may not notice a change in vision until the condition has progressed.
Abigail Biney urged Ghanaians to get regular eye exams, which should include measures of ocular pressure so that a diagnosis may be established early on and treated accordingly.
Vision loss can be avoided if glaucoma is detected early, according to Abigail Biney.
