Pink eye' or conjunctivitis is shown, and shows the treatment and care of a young girl with the condition. It also looks at the hazards to eyes that can be found in the work place. A young girl is shown at the GP surgery with her mother. The doctor and a nurse treat her eyes with drops. Industrial eye hazards are covered next. We see a man working in a factory furnace with molten sparks flying around him, marble cutters working on a war memorial and a man working at an emery wheel without goggles. He gets something in his eye and has to visit a clinic. The segment ends with shots of a very busy waiting room at an eye clinic and shots of patients having their eyes tested.
