Playing bagpipes can make you go blind

Posted: 31-Jan-2011 10:22 I see that a study at Glasgow Caledonian University has established that playing the bagpipes can lead to glaucoma and optic nerve damage. The last scare about bagpipes was that they could make you go deaf. Seems to be quite a hazardous instrument to play! |

Posted: 02-Feb-2011 14:48 According to Scotland's leading clinical medical journal, "The Sun", one of the study's leaders recommends pipers visit an optometrist regularly. This demonstrates how experts are not necessarily the best source of advice. The answer is for pipers to switch to bellows-blown instruments. There you are: simple, clear advice completely removing this risk factor and you read it first on this forum. |
