1. They define "heavy computer use" as "several hours a day"
Yikes!!! I atare at the computer screen for only "several hours a day" on the days when I take a break from the computer!

I feel like a drunk who thought 20 beers a day was ok, only to find out that the docs define "heavy drinking" as more than three!

4. I'm not worried....
All you have to do is smoke enough pot to keep the glaucoma away.

13. This is perfect.
Im going to my doctor with this study and demanding a "preemptive" prescription for mary.

Now if only we could get the medicinal mushrooms legislation rolling, I wouldn't care who stole what election.

8. That's why some of us have replaced our eyes
with wireless, USB compatible cybernetic implants. I get DU beamed directly into my visual cortex. :tinfoilhat:

10. Thank you for this!
Mr GoddessOfGuinness's mom had glaucoma, and he always scores very high on the test. He also uses the computer a great deal...
