Abstract
Two hundred and thirty-nine coal miners’ vision, color discrimination, dark adaptation, depth perception, vision response time and Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency (CFF) were tested. The results showed that, with the age increasing, the coal miners’ dark adaptation ability, vision response ability and visual sensitivity declined; there were significant differences in vision response ability and visual sensitivity from different types of work; the miners with better vision had stronger dark adaptation ability and visual sensitivity; the miners with stronger dark adaptation ability had stronger visual sensitivity. In the end, some proposals were given to coal miner selection and management.
