Saying Hello, & Headset Monitors...Are They Safe?
« on: May 18, 2003, 11:12:18 AM »
Hi Guys,

I've been off-board for a long, long time. I guess I'm still traumatized by the breakup of my relationship with Jeremy, even though it was over a year ago. I have still not hooked up my new hard drive or installed OS 10.1. I've sort of "gone off" matters relating to computers for awhile, even though I use my G4 every day, and do routine maintenance. Knock on wood, it is a very, very good machine...!

I wanted to say Hi to everyone. Even though I have been thinking of other things these days, I have missed everybody here. This is a nice community, and one can't say that for all forums, to say the least. I'm in the process of changing careers. As many of you know, I've been a professional jeweler for 30 years, and being a jewelry craftsman is not only boring, it doesn't pay well. I've also make my interest in vision improvement very clear. So I am going back to school, and intend to become a VTOD, or vision-training optometrist. Thank goodness my health is very good, so maybe, just maybe, I can pull this off.

Alot of people are always asking me questions about vision, etc. The latest one is this:

Are headset monitors safe? Can they cause eyestrain, or are they more likely to cause eyestrain than CRT monitors?

Any info/articles about this would be very helpful.

I hope I don't have trouble with this board. I miss the old "look," but this seems to operate much like most bulletin boards.

Cheers,
Francine Eisner   thanx.gif

Headset monitors? You mean the type that you wear?

I have no idea if they are safe or anything as I haven't seen them at all except in one ad on TechTV. I'm sure, if they are out there, that the cost would be very expensive.


Welcome back..even though I don't know you or what happened. Good luck with the school!

Hi Fran. Nice to hear from you. wink.gif

Stop by whenever.

You know we all wish you the best, whatever you do. smile.gif

Hard to know what to call those to look for stuff.

Did find this item.

They mention health warnings.
