Life must have been rough when fluorescent lighting was the norm.
- walugipnts 5y agoI had to quit one of my first jobs over it, the combination of cheap fluorescent lighting and no natural light caused me to have constant headaches.
- tonyarkles 5y agoI was pretty far down the road with a neurologist due to frequent migraines back in the day. Unrelated, I quit my job during that time. Suddenly, when using an LCD in a mostly naturally lit environment, instead of a CRT under fluorescent lights, my migraines completely vanished and haven’t come back once in a decade. Tada!

- pen2l 5y agoYou’re luckier than me, I get headaches from natural light. If I’m outside on a sunny day without sunglasses I am pretty much done for the day. I have no clue why I am this way or if this is a common issue for folks out there. I should look into this more, and if anything can be done about it to reduce the nausea and headaches I get from being in the sunlight. One of the things I’m looking forward to seeing is if wearing contact lens is better than wearing glasses.
- jdeibele 5y agoThe standard thing was to turn off the fluorescent lighting back when everybody (tech support, sysops, programmers) was almost entirely looking at a screen. I got very used to calling "lights" before turning them on or there would be moans and groans.
