Does anyone else have a real problem with fluorescent lights

I would be really interested to know and also what it could be an indication of.

For several years now I have had a real problem with bright fluroscent lights, to the point now where I go in shops I feel quite weird and disorientated.

At work I use uplighters and angelpoise lamp.

I never even used to be aware of lighting as I am sure most people are.

Could it just be general tiredness? Maybe an effect of spending so many hours on computer?

If anyone else has this please let me know and we could swap notes.

Not the same as your symptoms, but they sometimes trigger migraines for me.

As hathor, my migraine can be triggered by fluorescents - my hubby once said it could be the oscillations? the worst ever was the lights out side that chip shop chain - Harry Ramsden's

Have you spoken to an opthalmologist/optician about your symptoms?

Might be worth getting checked out?

I had an ocular migraine earlier this year.

I think I will get it checked out as it isn't getting any better. I also get floaters too which I have had checked out.
