Here is an Example
William, a welder in San Diego, was working on a project site
for the past year. He used equipment that exposed his eyes
to welding light every day. He began experiencing welders
ash, a condition caused by the intense light of welding
burning the eyes and surrounding tissue. Although William
went to the doctor for treatment, he still is having recurring
discomfort in his eyes and as a result can no longer work.
