Abstract
Summary: Purpose: Photosensitivity can represent a serious problem in epilepsy patients, also because pharmacologic treatment is often ineffective. Nonpharmacologic treatment using blue sunglasses is effective and safe in controlling photosensitivity, but large series of patients have never been studied.
Methods: This multicenter study was conducted in 12 epilepsy centers in northern, central, southern, and insular Italy. A commercially available lens, named Z1, obtained in a previous trial, was used to test consecutively enrolled pediatric and adult epilepsy patients with photosensitivity. Only type 4 photosensitivity (photoparoxysmal response, PPR) was considered in the study. A standardized method was used for photostimulation.
Results: Six hundred ten epilepsy patients were tested. Four hundred (66%) were female patients; 396 (65%) were younger than 14 years. Three hundred eighty-one (62%) subjects were pharmacologically treated at the time of investigation. Z1 lenses made PPR disappear in 463 (75.9%) patients, and PPR was considerably reduced in an additional 109 (17.9%) of them. PPR remained unchanged only in the remaining 38 (6.2%) patients. The response of PPR to Z1 lenses was not significantly influenced by the patients' age, sex, or type of epilepsy. No difference was found between pharmacologically treated and untreated patients.
Conclusions: The Z1 lens is highly effective in controlling PPR in a very large number of photosensitive epilepsy patients irrespective of their epilepsy or antiepileptic drug treatment. The lens might become a valid resource in the daily activity of any clinician who cares for patients with epilepsy.

DISCUSSION
The results of this multicenter study illustrate the undoubted efficacy of these commercially available Z1 lenses, as they are highly effective in completely controlling PPR in >75% and reducing it in an additional 17% of our photosensitive epilepsy patients.
Enlarge the picture..study her gums. Swollen, reddened. Gum disease? Reaction from Dilantin (used to control epilepsy)? Reaction to some other medication?
Hillary’s sunglasses would actually be transmitting yellow, if we are seeing blue reflected from them.
I stood not 10 feet from her a year ago and was struck by the blueness of her eyes. Now I know the truth.
Some older pictures show her with brown eyes. I wonder if the blue lenses work as well as contact lenses which she appears to be wearing.
I notice that she is always wearing sunglasses when nobody else is....
If her contacts are that tinted then that explains why her keeper shines a flash light for her in hallways. She’s prone to falling in the first place, and everyone knows how hard it is to see inside w/ sunglasses on.
I hate to rain on this parade but I don’t think those lenses could be Zeiss F133.
I spent about an hour reading up on this lens coating. It can only be used on glass lenses and that would almost certainly require full framed lenses.
I only found one lab (in Italy) that advertised that it could provide the lenses and it only displayed the lens in full framed glasses.

Notice she recovers be focusing on an object, the coffee she’s holding, and comments on the coffee.
=> It is very likely she learned this as a coping mechanism used to regain her composure.
The coffee remark was very strange. Her little house of cards is about to come tumbling down.
Would it be wrong of me to send her a “Twilight: Breaking Dawn” CD?
Don’t know when I’ve been so blue
Don’t know what’s come over you
You’ve found someone new
And don’t it make my brown eyes blue
I’ll be fine when you’re gone
I’ll just cry all night long
Say it isn’t true
And don’t it make my brown eyes blue
Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Give me no reasons, give me alibis
Tell me you love me and don’t let me cry
Say anything but don’t say goodbye
I didn’t mean to treat you bad
Didn’t know just what I had
But, honey, now I do
And don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes blue
Don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes blue
Don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes
Don’t it make my brown eyes blue
Would it be wrong for Trump to pull out a strobe light during the Debates?
Is that someone I should recognize?
