Neck-tie party...

[A. Berk]

Someone has just mentioned to me that BBC radio 2 aired a piece about tight neck-ties causing pressure build-up in the eyes with resultant damage to ones optic nerves. Does any member know of such a theory and/or has anyones eyesight been affected by tight neck-seals?

This from someone who has spent many years with a neoprene or latex restriction around the throat and now has Glaucoma - coincidence?

Ragrds,

Thanks Jane, having sifted through some of that its anyones guess whether or not neck seals play much of a part. In some maybe and in others perhaps not, though there's some sound advice about getting eye pressure checked on a regular basis after the age of 35.
