ASSESSMENT OF VISUAL FUNCTIONAL STATE IN DENTAL PRACTITIONERS UNDER OCCUPATIONAL CONDITIONS

Dental professionals are exposed to multiple occupational factors, among which visual strain plays a dominant role. This study evaluates the functional condition of the visual analyzer in dentists under real working conditions, considering lighting parameters and workload intensity. The findings indicate a progressive decline in visual performance indicators throughout the workday, reflecting the development of occupational fatigue. The results emphasize the importance of optimizing workplace lighting and microclimatic conditions.
