Relate?

[IRHONDA]

Totally

Lights weird brighter

I see crawling things in fluorescents so horrible it's like they move - I don't understand what causes light sensitivity and if it will go away but sunglasses 😎

[sonnerkay]

Yes, store lites really affect me, cause anxiety, & blurring of vision. pink tint sunglasses helped the most, brown sunglasses next. I prefer stores without bright lighting, and have replaced household with soft lights.

Take care Sonnerkay

Pink lenses make sense, at least for me, because artificial light casts a ghastly green or yellow hue on everything. Thanks for the tip!

How long has this been and what causes this reaction I don't understand and neither do experts

[Buckie3]

Oh yes, it's called Phototopia. I tolerate the fluorescent lights but bright lights, flashing causes confusion in my brain. Sunglasses help to tolerate them.

All artificial lights seem weird to me, Sunny. Direct sun, too. I was photosensitive before meningitis; now I'm photophobic. Colors are wrong and the light stabs.

3 months out from bacterial meningitis and my photosensitivity is slightly better. Florescent overhead lights and bright sunshine are the worst. Sunglasses and a brimmed hat help. If I don't protect my eyes I get a headache. I have prescription sunglasses that are Polaroid. No doctor can tell me how long this could last.
