Hi
Have you looked at environmental issues such as humidity, temp, air con as these can all have a drying effect on the eyes?

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Eye Issue
Good Morning List
I have one of my cients with ongoing eye issues for a couple of months. She is a DSE user reporting watery and itchy eyes all the time at work. I undertook a DSE assessment and realised that the font size in use was 9 and the screen was positioned far away from her approximately 80cm. Advice was given on increasing font size and to bring the screen nearer so as to meet DSE Regulations (1992). She was seen by her GP and optician and all tests were NAD. She has now moved to a differnt workstation but feels the lighting is making her eyes water and would like to move to one nearer a window. I have been to assess her again but do not feel the lighting is an issue as the room is adquately lit. Has anyone come across anything similar or could offer some advice please.
Many thanks.
Sandra
