I'm sure what meds specifically target photosensitive epilepsy, I have many types of epilepsy & photosensitive being one of them. You can buy special glasses to help with it or you can do what I do & that's where a patch over one eye, which depending on what exactly it is that I'm exposed to, it works sufficiently enough :-)

This was something that was recommended by my E nurse & has also been strongly recommend by many fellow sufferers.

I hope this helps :-) xx

I took the hard way out i had neurosurgery done in december 2013 and well it was the best decision i ever made iv had no seizures since november last year if you are having problems i strongly think you should have a talk with a neurologist at the hospital i had tried them all with no luck i was either allergic or couldnt stand the side effects my seizures turned drug resistant so i was glad to see the back of them and today i feel great been a long haul but totally worth it
