I love macro and end up squinting for ages on end whilst I'm chasing the insects; I carry on until I can squint no longer & my face really aches; anyone else have a similar problem or any clever tricks to avoid face-ache? I'm seriously starting to consider the old pirate eye patch right now.

..not forgetting some rum.
..although the lads above might have nearly finished it..
On a serious note, its probably just muscle fatigue, so face exercises would help Id guess. .

one of those extendable eye cups with the soft rubber surround helps, as does a angle finder for working low down.
you can buy them with your buried treasure
pieces of eight, peices of eight etc

Cant see that making much difference, but what do EYE know,
Think its more the closed eye thats aching, you could massage the muscles above and below your temple, every now and again, or after every few shots, that may help, also practice just closing your eye rather than squeezing it tightly shut
