Eye Injuries to Agricultural Workers--Minnesota, 1992-1993

Author: Centers for Disease Control
Date Published: 1995


During 1993, U.S. farmworkers incurred an estimated 13,500 eye injuries that resulted in lost work time. Many of these injuries could have been prevented. The Minnesota Occupational Health and Nurses in Agricultural Communities examined data from the Minnesota Farming Health Survey conducted during January-April 1992 and December 1992-April 1993. Occupational health nurses administered questionnaires during on-farm visits. Square-mile sections of land in three agricultural regions of the state were sampled at a sampling rate of 3.5 percent.
