The biggest reason people have dry eyes is that the tear film doesn’t have the right consistency of water, mucus and oil. The oil part of your tears comes from little glands at the margin of your eyelids. As you blink, oil is supposed to coat the eyes.

Health care workers, laboratory and other workers may be at risk of acquiring infectious diseases from eye exposure. Some infectious diseases can be transmitted through the mucous membranes of the eye as a result of direct exposure to blood splashes, respiratory droplets generated during coughing or from touching the eyes with contaminated fingers or other objects.

1. Not wearing eye protection (esp. glasses) or
2. Wearing the wrong kind of protection for the job.
It is suggested to use eye and/or face protection whichever is suitable at work place to prevent injuries. Personal protective eye-wear, such as goggles, face shields, safety glasses or full face respirators must be used, when an eye hazard exists. The eye protection chosen for specific work situations depends upon the type of hazard, the circumstances of exposure, other protective equipment used, and individual vision needs.
