Can you claim stigmatism or worsened eyesight? I’ve always had perfect eyesight but was told in service that I have a stigmatism and was prescribed glasses at one point. My MOS also required me to be in front of a computer screen all day. Just wondering if this could be a claim.

Going to be tough because the science does not show a permanent relationship between eyesight and computers.

The idea that computer screens damage eyes is a myth. It comes from wanting kids to play outside and not stay indoors in front of a computer because the latter increase health problems in a society where obesity is already a problem.

There is however, a relationship between the amount of sun light a person receives and eye sight. But studies on that relationship were conducted on adolescents, not adults.

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though. Rather than admit the mistake and suggest a new deadline, I just kept saying I’d send it tomorrow/later/so on. And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.

Can provide more details if needed, but if an employee is constantly coughing at work (small retail establishment), is it okay to ask them for a doctor's note stating they aren't contagious? They're claiming it's due to allergies, but I've gotten several confidential concerns from employees and customers alike due to the current enviornment.
