Valarie Morris <vmorris -at- VMCOMM -dot- COM> asks--
Does anyone else experience eyeburn in the line of duty? I
wonder about the long term effects. Has anyone read or heard
of any research on this subject?
================
Could you please describe what you mean by eyeburn. Are you
talking about eye strain? Are there visible symptoms when you
look in the mirror?
I may be experiencing it...but I need to know what it is.
Another possibly related question: How many of us wear eye
glasses? I do.
(Health concerns of the technical writing profession are
important; but if this is considered off topic, I'll shut up.
OTOH, it's gotta be closer to topic than how much we like or
dislike someone's signature. ;-) )
