TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - The eye and visual nervous system: anatomy, physiology and toxicology JO - Environmental health perspectives A1 - McCaa, C. S. SP - 1 EP - 8 VL - 44 IS - N2 - The eyes are at risk to environmental injury by direct exposure to airborne pollutants, to splash injury from chemicals and to exposure via the circulatory system to numerous drugs and bloodborne toxins. In addition, drugs or toxins can destroy vision by damaging the visual nervous system.
