AGI I have been triggered by CFL and LED lighting for decades. They are my primary trigger, much more so than screens.
However, CFL lights have pretty much vanished from the marketplace, and mew LED's seems to be less offensive, I suspect the color rendering has gotten better. Bright white LED's are always a problem. It infuriates me to no end they keep sticking them on car lights now.
Also, since the eye patch seems to reduce the eye strain when using the phone, does this mean I have Binocular Vision Dysfuction? Or is it just the phone itself causing the problem?
You likely have BVD that the phone display is triggering.
Is it simply a case of covering the dominant eye so the other eye works harder and then using a device that causes issues for a few minutes each day, increasing each day?
Don't worry about dominant v non dominant, just try each eye separately and find which one works better for you. Then patch that eye whenever you are using a problematic device.
Don't worry about timing or how long to wear it or "curing" anything, if it gets better it will get better but the primary goal is to live a pain free life. If you are never cured and need to wear a patch for the rest of your life when using these devices, so be it.
i really want to try neurolens i have a hope it could help me
they are just branded, overpriced prismatic lenses that any eyeglass shop can make for you.
I think its only logical to assume that the dominant eye should be stronger and its the non-dominant eye causing the problems, but what if it is the brain favoring the dominant eye causing the problem somehow? What if the dominant eye actually has a problem.
I think it is a waste of time to try and come up with some "logical to us" explanation involving eye dominance. Who cares. Results are what matter. You only have 2 eyes, it takes no time to test each and see what works best for you. It is eminently clear among the people on this board that there are many, many permutations of this disorder and everyone is unique. Some people have issues with PWN and flicker, I have zero problems with them, I have big problems with color and CCRI, other people have no problem with that, some people found relief patching their dominant eye, some found relief patching their non dominant eye. In the end, all that should matter is each individual finding relief that works for them.
Is it a miracle that it worked on me? Why? Is it because I am stubborn? Why are “eye specialists” saying that it only works on kids, is it science behind that statement and how do we tell them that’s wrong?
Any doctor or specialist thats says something like "This only works if you are under 15" is exaggerating. What they mean is it is most successful on younger people, and progressively less successful on older people, but certainly not impossible. While it is true that brain elasticy decreases as we age, it is an absolute falsehood that there is some "tollgate" age that renders brain learning impossible. I underwent significant nuerofeedback training in my 30's and saw the difference I was achieveing in my brainwaves right in front of me.
As for me I am still patching daily, and have noticed my underlying ability to look at a screen without a patch and not get triggered has become wildly variable as of late, some days it regresses back to a fraction of a second, some days I can get up to several minutes. Personally I don't care to much, if I have to wear an eye patch whenever I am using a display for the rest of my life, then thats what I'll do. Millions of people around the world who have suffered eye injuries wear eye patches all day every day and get along just fine.
Cheers!
