Vol. 386 No. 3

Written Answers. - Use of Image Intensifiers.

155.

asked the Minister for Defence whether he has satisfied himself that adequate precautions are taken to protect the eyesight of Army personnel using image intensifiers; and if he will make a statement on the use of this equipment.

Limerick West): There is no known medical hazard associated with this equipment and eyesight is not affected. However, long periods of continuous use may cause eye fatigue, although normal rest is all that is required to recover from this. No further precautions are necessary.
