Injuries of Roman soldiers

Quote:...the eye 'injuries' are likely some form of conjunctivitis resulting from damp living conditions. Unfortunately this is one area where you're left to do a fair bit of extrapolation from literary sources.

Galen wrote a lot about eye problems. I wondered if it had anything to do with all the smoke from indoor braziers without proper ventilation.
