One interesting fact on industrial
accidents which affects the eyes is caustic soda which eats
up the eye on contact.
Soda can be found even in everyday household items like washing
and cleaning detergent.
Even eye contact with acid is not as bad as soda. The first thing
one must do is to wash off the chemical off the eyes and then seek medical
treatment.
We are lucky to have 2 Rotarian
doctors in our club and hope they will from time to time, keep us informed
of medical news that can be useful in times of emergency.
For those members who have
not been attending meetings, we hope you will come to parti-
pate in these interesting
discussions and learn a thing or two.
