Close up of a photograoh of my screen showing gooby at '60' demonstrating light seepage, or haleation, which is the way I experience most fonts on large screens. Larger sizes feel more 'crisp' because the fuzz' doesn't merge them.

A test of readability might be the gradual degradation in comfort as a font reduces in size (design changes) or increases in fuzziness (simulate macro degeneration changes)

After the Chronic Migraines, Light Sensitivity was the next big symptom to develop for me.

Much in the same way that I've always suffered with migraines, I've always been very sensitive to light...but when all of this started with my body, it all kind of ramped up to an unmanageable, intolerable, chronic level.

I have my curtains and blinds closed most of the day, if not permanently. I removed the bulb from the "Big Light" in my room, to ensure nobody could ever turn it on unexpectedly. When I settle down for sleep, I have to cover even the smallest source of light to stpp it from peneterating my eyelids.

Bunlight, my bunny shaped nightlight, is set to the darkest red I can get her so she still illuminates the bad corner, but the light isn't as disturbing as it could be.

And I have only just come to the realisation (that sparked my need to write this post) that the brighter the light I am exposed to, the quicker my limited energy drains.

I keep my phone screen quite dark most of the time, occasionally having to increase brightness to make out detail in images, etc, and I noticed a little while ago that I was really starting to crash with it turned up just a little bit.

Brightness turned back down and, while obviously I'm still drained, I can feel myself more capable of...like, a little bit of life.

Got light sensitivity? Want some fancy pink glasses?

Zenni's selling FL-41 pink tinted glasses in 3 intensities. Haven’t tried them yet. Would like to. Yrs back got a fab pair of therapeutic brown tinted polarized blue blocking sunglasses that are still my go-to from them

I remember a young couple, Sarah and Tom, sitting in my office, their faces etched with worry. Their little one, just past his first birthday, wasn't hitting milestones like other toddlers. #Cockaynesyndrome #developmentaldelays #ERCC6gene #ERCC8gene #geneticdisorder #lightsensitivity #prematureaging

Dear light-sensitive people, can you please share experiences with or recommendations for FL-41 glasses?

I am looking for something that will help me navigate the harsh lights at my work place. I do have a rather small skull, so I often have to look long and hard for sunnies that don't slide off my nose. Hence, I'm looking for FL-41 glasses that have a relatively small fit. Do you have any recommendations?

Do you have any other advice that you can share? Thanks!

Hmm 🤔 last time we were here, it was raining like mad and still dark when we headed home. I did bring my clip-over, and my sunglasses, but they're both in the car. So of course now it does get rather light as we walk here...
Hope my eyes won't be too bothered, as I will have to drive us home in a bit. I'll have my clip then but I could also have a headache...
Light sensitivity is hard at times... (well, at times when there is light, which people like to have and I'll be like... That's a bit too much for me).

I wish it was easier to explain how just normal daylight, even at the start of the day, can feel overwhelming and a trigger for a bad headache. 😔

To all those devs that don’t add support dark mode in your applications.

Your mom’s a ho.
