AGI
I'm not convinced it's that our eyes are a "problem" in a there's something wrong sense so much as we happen to be people more sensitive to certain things be it pwm, dithering (arguably being sensitive to one would make you more likely to be sensitive to the other. My guess is in general we have an above average sense for fast moving objects and detail. This would explain why so far the people with this problem seem to be 99% male) or certain frequencies of light irritating us.
This would just make us "incompatible" with some of the new technologies, unfortunately.
Of course it could be that we just have terrible processing of something in some way, or it's setting off micro-seizures in some people, or that we have issues with focusing. Or there's cross over of everything.
Oh boy I just typed a whole lot of nothing.
