My experience-Computer screen sensitivity and light sensitivity accommodations
Here is a hard one that no medical provider has been useful on: Has anybody found a laptop or computer set up for work that works best with their computer screens sensitivity and light sensitivity?
I have so much anxiety around returning from disability leave in a few weeks and no one in the medical world seems to be able to actually help me, so what have y’all, those with lived experience, been doing to survive the capitalist death cult out there?
Computer screens and lights are major migraine triggers for me and flare up other symptoms for me such as dizziness, light-headedness, brain fog, anxiety, overwhelm, overstimulation, overheating, and can all around make me break down. The pain and discomfort and distress and overwhelm can be so bad. White backgrounds (light mode), blue light, and red light are the death of me and fluorescents are an actual evil. Bright lights, especially overhead lights, are awful and screens have to strike an odd balance between being too bright to be painful and too full to be able to see and be painful because of that.
Has anyone actually found answers for screen-based work? Computers that function well with dark-mode? (We currently have chromebooks, which do not!) A screen size that is best based on light or pixels (whatever it is, I’m not a science gay) versus being able physically see and concern over eye strain, etc.? A computer that may work well with a program such as speechify and a dictation program, which might be good to have? What dictation do you recommend from your experience? I work in nonprofit and we do only have so much of a budget.
What is your favorite blue light filter for the screen of the computer itself? (Please share links!) I also know green light is great for migraines and I’ve used green bulbs and tried to make my screen green before. Have you put anything on your screen or found a good program?
I do communication and do need to be able to see things in canva in normal cool or scheme at times, which is one concern I have about going to back work.
One note I want to throw out: I wear prescription progressives that are supposedly tinted at an FL-41 color but have not been enough! I was also prescribed computer glasses but when I got them with Blue Light Blockz from Zenni I had an instant migraine for days-week and was immediately nauseous. (I’ve also had bifocals since I was 4– I was born with cataracts and have had multiple eyes surgeries including lens implants/cataract removals at 9 and multiple rounds of lazer over the past now 20 years— and considered my eyes “needing to get used to them, but this was so bad and insufferable, it didn’t make sense, leading me to return the glasses for a measly 50% cash refund because I was so distraught and in so much pain). I am curious about Avulux lenses because they also block out red light and amber light— and tbh I’m unclear if these glasses Kaiser claims are FL-41 are just a dyed lens, IS that all an FL-41 is, a simple dye/tint— in addition to blue light and let in “good” green light, but they’re over $700 and I’m worried about buying progressives online lmao. I say all this to cover the glasses bases.
