Where I worked they used cheap florescents and one night driving home my eyes started to go "crazy". Without shutting my eyes they were flashing independently of each other with strange bright lights. I thought I could be having a stroke or something. It happened again after being at work and I put it together that it was the lighting effecting my eyes. They changed the lights for me and I never had that problem again. It was sure weird, though.
Not really weird. It is not uncommon for people to have similar or worse reactions.
My husband gets migraines, nausea and vomiting when exposed to florescent lighting.
My sister in law will go into epileptic seizures if she has to sit under florescents for a long time.
