The flickering light thing comes with the widespread use of fluorescent lights. You have a lot of company in that. Don’t worry about it. Just a different refresh rate.

It’s not just artificial lights.

It can be something as simple as sunlight flickering through trees or guardrail posts on the highway.

That infernally omnipresent ‘ticker’ at the bottom of all the TV news is murder.

I have to keep messing with the screen size on my TV to try and get rid of them and *still*, shows like FoxNews has a million twirling, flickering things moving on their studio backgrounds that I can’t stand.

I can’t tolerate the sight of cars moving through the intersection while I’m at a stoplight.
[and unfortunately I have the peripheral vision of a horse, apparently..it’s almost impossible to just ‘look away’]

It’s a neurological thing they don’t know how to “fix”.

Some flourescents, however, can just about make me jump out of my skin.

I can stand being in Lowes about 10 minutes before I have to bug out of there.

The ones hubby has in the machine shop are intolerable for any amount of time.

They don’t bother him at all.
