As a bee scientist and medical doctor, I have recently been contacted by an
ophthalmologist in California who noted a couple of cases of visual problems
in beekeepers caused by central retinal vein occlusions.  I am not aware of
this being an ailment of particular concern to beekeepers, but I thought I
would inquire among  the Bee List subscribers to see whether anyone else is
aware of increased prevalence of central retinal vein occlusions in
beekeepers.
 
If anyone has any information, please let me know.
 
regards,
 
scott
