One of our employees has contacted me and indicates that his doctor informed
him that he has the start of cataracts. The doctor told him that the UV
light from computer monitors is the second highest causal agent for
cataracts other than the sun...
Does anyone out there have a "reference" that addresses this matter or any
information whatsoever? I would appreciate hearing from you.
