My eyesight has been fine thanks. I found that doing repetitive movements with the mouse was the main problem. So I started using the mouse with my left hand. It was incredibly difficult to start with - made me feel sick - but I got the hang of it and soon was as good with the left as the right. Now at work I will use two computers at once, both hands on mouses, scrolling, cutting, pasting, etc. It's great. Rick.
