jasonpicard My workplace changed from fluorescent to overhead LED lights at the turn of the year, and I was quite pleasantly surprised that I did not notice any symptom differences. I could tell that the place looked "cooler" when I opened the door in the first working day of 2018, yet I didn't notice any issues (despite expecting some). I have also been able to view a few LED TVs at people's houses without any great lasting difficulty.
It's seemingly LED computer monitors that do it for me, and it doesn't take long. I wonder if it's the closer distance, or some other way the image is displayed, or what. Lowering the brightness as far as it will go, and wearing FL-41 overfits seem to at least delay the symptoms when I am forced to work on an LED for about an hour or so, but I still am going with avoidance if at all possible.
Do you face ridicule from being the guy walking around with funny-colored glasses? This "disorder" or sensitivity has no name. The closest I have seen is "Irlen Syndrome", although reading the description about it doesn't sound like an exact fit (it's more associated with learning disabilities).
Does anyone also have trouble with Walmarts by any chance? I went in one on Monday night, and I don't go there super often, but I always seem to be super spaced-out every time I go. Maybe everybody gets it. Perhaps it's called the "Walmart Wander" - people aimlessly walking around, aisle-by-aisle, overwhelmed at the mass selection of everything (and low prices, lol) Perhaps I'm not a rarity there!
Wow, you're lucky you only have to use a computer for an hour a day. What occupation do you have if you don't mind me asking?
What is living in this country doing to us!? 🙂
