 eyes and back pressure problems?
Author: cowtime 
Date:   2012-01-21 00:13

I am an older player(58) who began oboe about four years ago. I currently play a bit with a community orchestra. In preparation for us beginning our spring rehearsals I've been practicing every evening after work and my eyes are suffering. They are red as can be and painful. When this happened this past week I remembered that right before our Christmas concert, when I was practicing daily, the same thing happened. I fully realize this is most likely something I am doing wrong ...

Has anyone else out there experienced this? any suggestions? I mentioned this to my eye dr last month at my annual exam and her only comment was "that's not good". and yes, I am searching for another ophthalmologist.
