Looks like I’m in trouble now:
Heavy computer use could be linked to glaucoma, especially among those who are short-sighted, fear researchers.
Glaucoma is caused by increased fluid pressure within the eye compressing the nerves at the back, which can lead to blindness if not treated.
The findings, published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, are based on 10,000 Japanese workers.
The authors and experts recommend more research, particularly because being short-sighted is a known glaucoma risk.
I wonder how long it will be until research appears that counters these findings! Not long I would guess.
