Morning,

I just learned from TV news in Singapore that the eye doctors are seeing an increase in eye cancer due to UV from sunlight. The symptoms of dry eyes, red vessels and small lump on the eye ball described by the eye doctors on TV are what I have experience recently.

I got worry as I have been inspecting conformal coating using UV lamp daily between 15 min to 2 hours at a stretch. As for my colleague who manual coat the boards, he can easily spent 4 - 5hours daily at such work. Can someone provide some adivise on the effect.

We are using Long awve UV 365nm. The UV lamp is from Spectronics Corp code BLE-760B.

Thanks in advance.
