SUMMARY

Aim – to study the prevalence, structure and features of ophthalmopatology in the workers of the oil refnery factory named after Heydar Aliyev.

Materials and methods
367 workers of the oil processing factory named after Heydar Aliyev were examined and the results of the eye examination were included into the study materials. There were 208 (56,7%) men and 159 (43,3%) women. The mean age of the workers was 49,8 ± 0.5 (26-68) years. All examined patients were subdivided into 2 groups: the frst (main) group included 124 patients who were directly in contact with the oil chemical products; the second (control) group included 243 patients who were not in contact with the oil chemical products.

Results
In group i the pathology of the eye was observed in 80,6±3,5%, while in the group ii in 36,6%±3,1 cases. Between the groups a statistically signifcant difference was observed. The most common ophthalmopathology were the dry eye syndrome (49,2±4,5%), blepharoconjunctivitis (19,4±3,5%), conjunctival melanosis (20,2±3,6%), pingvecula (14,5±3,2%), pterygium (6,2±2,2%) and conjunctival nevus(14,5±3,2%).

Conclusion
Thus, health care of the oil industry employees is becoming more socially signifcant. Unfavorable factors of production may cause the development of professional diseases, including temporary disability. All this testifes the need for timely prevention, early diagnosis and adequate treatment of eye diseases, which will preserve the professional suitability of workers in the oil industry and prevent disability.
