SUMMARY

Aim - studying the frequency, structure and features of ophthalmopatology in the workers of the oil refnery factory "Azərneftyağ".

Materials and methods
116 workers of the oil refnery factory «Azərneftyağ» were examined and the results of the eye examination were included into the study materials. Ophthalmic examination included visometry, refractometry, tonometry, biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy. All examined patients were subdivided into 2 groups: the frst (main) group included 75 patient who were directly in contact with the oilchemical products; the second (control ) group included 41 patients who were not in contact with the oilchemical products. All patients were subjected to the generally accepted complex of ophthalmological examination (visometry, refractometry, biomicroscopy, tonometry, ophthalmoscopy).

Results
In group I the pathology of the eye was observed in 88%±3,8, while in the group II in 56,1% ±7,8 cases. Between the groups a statistically signifcant difference was observed. The most common ofthalmopathology were the dry eye syndrome (58,7%±5,7), conjunctival melanosis (32,0%±5,4), pingvecula (25,3%±5,0), hypertensive angiopathy (12,0%±3,8) and focal hyperpigmentation of the macula (8.0% ± 3,1).

Conclusion
Thus, the reduction of the impact of unfavorable factors of production on the organ of vision is associated with the development of the oil industry in Azerbaijan in recent years. Yet, it is well-known that the negative infuence of these factors still remains and therefore research in this area is of particular importance. Timely examinations and treatment make it possible to study the frequency, structure and features of the pathology of the organ of vision, which, in its turn, will help to prevent its development.
