Water and Methanol extracts were found to have antibacterial effect on common eye pathogen Streptococcus aureus, Methanol extract wit 50µl, 75 µl and 100 µl concentrations showed increasing rate of activity with high zone of inhibition than water extract.
Keywords: Occupation, welding, eye odema, Jasminium officinale, eye pathogen, zone of inhibition.
