Abstract
A complex study of ophthalmologists’ working process revealed that it consists of a variety of diverse operations. It is also important to note that the working equipment used by the ophthalmologist generates a myriad of physical factors (such as different types of lasers, ultrasound, etc.). Labor, leisure and nutrition cycle of the researched class is substantially violated, which could have serious repercussions on their working capacity and health. It was established, that their working hours exceeded the norm in 85.3% of ophthalmologists researched, while 91% of medical personnel employed in therapy worked no longer than 8 hours a day (P<0,001). At the end of the day personnel show signs of physical and mental exhaustion, most of the employed surveyed complaining about pain in spine, neck and shoulders. Most medical personnel leaving their employment stated unsatisfying working conditions as a primary reason.
