Less bloodshot eyes from computer screens

It is simple to instal (you stick two lengths of rubber, one on the keyboard and one at the bottom of the screen, and these are connected to a nearby earth - the radiator - by a long wire). Tissues soaked in a special conducting fluid are supplied, and the screen has to be rubbed with these once a fortnight. It does seem to help, reports Nicholas Albery: 'I suffer from bloodshot eyes from too much work at the screen, and this has been less the case since ScreenSafe arrived - whether this is coincidental or my complaint was psychosomatic, I don't know. But manufacturers do say in their blurb how "depending on the length of exposure and the operator's susceptibility, the ill effects of electrostatic radiation from computer screen can range from unexplained fatigue and headaches to bloodshot or 'gritty' eyes - and even irritating and prominent skin rashes of the face and hands". 100,000 systems have been sold in Sweden. Even at £60 (Vat extra) it gets my vote, for the peace of mind it gives.'
