Modern office work with use of office equipment has raised concerns about possible adverse health effects.<ref>Jaakkola, Maritta S. and Jouni J. K. Jaakkola. "Office Equipment and Supplies: A Modern Occupational Health Concern?", [[American Journal of Epidemiology]], 1999, pp. 1223, Vol. 150, No. 11</ref> Since the 1970s, reports have linked mucosal, skin, and general symptoms to work with self-copying paper. Emission of various particulate and volatile substances has been suggested as specific causes. These symptoms have been related to [[Sick Building Syndrome]], which involves symptoms such as irritation to the eyes, skin, and upper airways, headache and fatigue.<ref>Nordström K., D. Norbäck, and R. Akselsson. "Influence of indoor air quality and personal factors on the sick building syndrome (SBS) in Swedish geriatric hospitals.", Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1995, pp. 170-176, Vol. 52.</ref>

The eye is also a source of chronic irritation. Disorders like [[Sjögren's syndrome]], where one does not make tears, can cause a dry eye sensation which feels very unpleasant. The condition is difficult to treat and is lifelong. Besides artificial tears, there is a drug called Restasis which may help.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20100405091444/http://www.dryeyeinfo.org/Dry_Eye_In_Depth.htm Dry Eye Diganosis And Treatment]}} Dry Eye Diagnosis And Treatment.

[[Blepharitis]] is dryness and itching on the upper eyelids. This condition is often seen in young people and can lead to reddish dry eye and scaly eyebrows. To relieve the itching sensation, one may need to apply warm compresses and use topical [[corticosteroid]] creams.
