Back in 1995 I  started to get what we call Repetitive Strain Injury in 
my right wrist.  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.
