- ScottMcIntyre, on 10/28/2008, -0/+25Hopefully this risk is reduced if you don't play the trumpet and do yoga at the same time! That would take a contortionist :-)
- shutaro, on 10/28/2008, -0/+20So, you're saying I should quit the trumpet yoga?
- AmyVernon, on 10/28/2008, -0/+16No, the yoga trumpet. The trumpet yoga is still OK in moderation.
- Terasiel, on 10/29/2008, -0/+14This just in! Daily exercise can put fatigue on key points on the body that, some researchers claim, can dramatically increase the likelihood of gaining injury.
- roctimo, on 10/29/2008, -0/+9Jesus, I was a swimmer in high school, we trained in the weight room, and I played trumpet in the jazz band. No wonder I can't see *****.
Please refrain from swimmer fag and band geek jokes if possible. Thank you for your cooperation. - MattB123, on 10/29/2008, -0/+7But not doing them could make YOU go blind!
- IIECONII, on 10/29/2008, -1/+8But what about yogic-trumpeting? Am I safe?
- inactive, on 10/29/2008, -1/+8remember kids, don't blow your yoga partner
- acegi, on 10/29/2008, -0/+7don't breathe, don't eat, don't walk, don't stand, don't sit, don't live. they all give you cancer.
- TheHim, on 10/29/2008, -0/+7Yay, perfectly inapplicable and thus useless results. Life causes cancer, so don't live, please...
- del56, on 10/29/2008, -1/+7more evidence to support my couch potato lifestyle
- billbugger, on 10/29/2008, -3/+9"...,sleeping face down,... Avoiding sleeping with the eyes in contact with a pillow or sleep mask may help to slow the progression of pressure-sensitive eye diseases..."
Damn, no more doggie with the drunk women, it'll make them go blind. - Kenzan, on 10/29/2008, -1/+7What about farting?
- Crazy888, on 10/29/2008, -4/+10smoke weed ma *****.
- frazw, on 10/29/2008, -0/+5Yeah but why stop there, I mean hearing is important too, better sell that radio.
- virtorio, on 10/29/2008, -1/+6Hey researchers, how about some good news for a change.
- del56, on 10/29/2008, -0/+5I like to call it the yompet
- phenom2k7, on 10/29/2008, -0/+5He'll get arthritis then from doing nothing.
The only answer for better health is suicide. - EchoAlpha, on 10/29/2008, -0/+4As a trumpet player, I don't doubt that my eyes could be damaged.
- PopcornDave, on 10/29/2008, -0/+4No, living is fine. It's being born that will kill you.
- abrigger, on 10/29/2008, -1/+4sell your pc, tv and listen to the radio. this would guarantee you a perfect vision
- imasuperDOTcom, on 10/29/2008, -5/+8TAKE THAT YOU YOGA-DOING FREAKS!
- drgmdp, on 10/29/2008, -0/+3buried for bad news
- DoctorX, on 10/29/2008, -0/+3"Researchers are recommending that all individuals immediately wrap themselves in non-allergenic plastic and lock themselves in a safely padded darkened cell until passing of natural causes."
- mohrt, on 10/29/2008, -0/+3Well darn it. I've been playing trumpet for 29 years and I still have 20/20. Maybe I'd have 20/15 if I hadn't taken up the instrument?
- jnuffnuffnomnom, on 10/29/2008, -4/+6I sleep face down while my partner plays my trumpet and I rub his japs eye..are we also at risk?
- stonebear, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2Spent years with sleep apnea (trumpet playing times four), and weightlifting has always figured prominently in my workout. Eyes are jacked, but rubbing them feels good when they hurt, and I enjoy all the psychedelic patterns. Oh crap.
- iloveazngurlzs, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2i ride my bicycle down the street, car exhaust blowing in my face...
- inactive, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2They had a whole laundry list of things that are bad. What are you allowed to do that wont hurt the eyes?
- shadowblade989, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2Can't forget masturbation.
It makes you go blind. - ExSlashdotter, on 10/29/2008, -1/+3Actually, this is no joke. I've played trumpet for about 14 years, and several years ago i actually busted a blood vessel in my eye. It was crazy, the whole white part of my eye was just blood red for like 2 months. No permanent damage or anything, just took forever for it to clear up.
And as for the "band geek" poster above, yeah maybe band geek in middle school. Just stick it out until partway through college when you invite that girl to the new orleans jazz club you've got a paying gig at. Not such a band geek now, eh? Trust me, the "cool jazz club" thing gets you way farther than the "hey, i half-ass my way through some power chords in a generic rock band". - Rally603, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2Forks also put my eyes at risk (I don't need to explain how). However, I still use them and would continue to use them even after reading a lame article about how forks may or may not contribute to glaucoma.
- del56, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2just don't force it. god help you if you're constipated.
- SocialPoison, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2You're releasing pressure. Therefore, farting is good for your eyesight.
- lemur, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2"Every day activities like swimming, doing a gym workout or playing a musical instrument could be making pressure-related eye diseases worse, Australian research says."
Sure, worse, but only if you have the disease. Do these things cause the diseases? - inactive, on 10/30/2008, -0/+2Your partner brings a Japanese person to bed with you?
- ronaldinho, on 10/29/2008, -1/+3.....what about blowjobs?
- robthom, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2^^
That got dugg?!
I wish the internet was actually a series of tubes so that I could stick my hand through and slap every person who dugg that.
(But I wouldn't slap the guy who wrote it, I only feel sorry for him. That would be like slapping a retarded person.) - itmoves, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2That's why I let my monkey play the trumpet. I don't want to run any risks.
- frazw, on 10/29/2008, -2/+4A swimmer fag and a band geek walked into a bar...
Oh wait, sorry didn't see that last bit. - AndrewMoyer, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2I couldn't make out the summary... my eyes are shot from reading so much damn Digg!
- temsi, on 10/29/2008, -1/+3"Rubbing the eyes has been proven to contribute to [...] short-sightedness,"
I don't think Bush's policies are the way they are because he rubs his eyes too much.
Oh, you mean near-sightedness... never mind. - dysonlu, on 10/30/2008, -0/+2Michael Phelps must be as blind as a bat.
- TheKappa, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2Glaucoma = medicinal marijuana!
- robthom, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2Dugg for title.
:) - phenom2k7, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2Some day, I'll come across an Australian based website that'll give an informative post. Some day.
- dilbert, on 10/30/2008, -0/+2FTA: "Rubbing the eyes has been proven to contribute to conditions like glaucoma and short-sightedness, but eye specialists have discovered many other basic behaviours also increase risk."
Later: "He found eye rubbing caused the biggest spike, raising pressure to ten times normal levels, but may be only an occasional harmless event."
So he's not sure but still brings this as news and an established scientific fact. - kalvinb, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2As a trumpet player I was more concerned with being properly heard above all others than my eyesight.
- dispatched, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2not to mention harmful to the environment.
