Yes, but more so on a tablet rather than phone or laptop. Also in Zoom meetings with more than three people. Think it's worse when I am wearing contact lenses as one contact lenses is to correct short sightedness and also a toric lense to help correct a stigma and the other is for reading. It is not as bad when wearing glasses (vari focals) or with no glasses/ lenses. I haven't found a cure except for not to use the tablet and not to scroll / zoom for too long.

Yes. For me it’s part of motion sickness which I’ve always had. When I see something moving (e.g scrolling) my eyes send a message to my brain which gets confused and my brain sends a message to my stomach informing it that I am in motion, rather than the screen, so my stomach had better start churning over in preparation for vomiting. Limit screen time. Take breaks where you can look into the distance ata stable horizon. Don’t try to look sideways at the screen. Fresh air helps.

Best to stay off devices as much as possible, esp. in vehicles. (And google "radiation sickness" or "EMF sensitivity" - you'll get much better results). A half hour conversation on a mobile phone does drastic things to our brains (radiation) - it's amplified when in a car or other vehicle because the phone connects many more times per second to the nearest cell tower or antenna. Don't use bluetooth headsets (airtube headphones are apparently the safest.) Shut phone and other devices like modems off at night (and don't sleep next to them!)

Thanks Guys - going to look into airtube headphones as I'm always speaking on my phone so need a safer option. I wish I knew all this before I was diagnosed with a brain tumour :-( The neurologist said my symptoms are not related to the tumour though. I have since started shutting my phone off at night and using speaker on my phone instead of putting it to my ear- also listening to music at low volume as I heard if you listen at high volumes to cancel out background noise that can also damage brain cells and cause tumours. I only use microwave to heat up food but now I hardly even do that and having a wireless phone at home is like a cell tower in your house so best to have wired landline phones.
