Eyes in the morning ?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm not sure this will make sense to anyone . I'm having problems opening my eyes fully whether it be to look at the screen on the laptop ,or look around the living room. I could qualify for the squinting Olympics .
I've been up 45 minutes ,and still struggling to open my eyes fully because of the glare .

My sensory problem are worse in the mornings, lights included, but it's 7pm in Australia so I'm good by now. How long does it take after you wake up for you to be able to look at bright things without alot of discomfort?

I've never really thought about how long, but definitely at least a couple of hours. The sun is shining through the living .room windows . When out and about I can have problems if it's sunny . I've been like that as far back as I can. remember .

I guess I might be a little photosensitive .

I'm the same way firemonkey. I can't even put a light on in my kitchen in the evenings because the light reflects on my silverware and gives me a headache. I can't drive at certain hours when the sun is rising or setting because of the glare on chrome on other cars. I keep blackout curtains on my windows. Do you have polarised lenses / polarised sunglasses? You may want to look into Irlen for indoor use. I'm in a constant state of squint too so I can empathise. The brightness on my screen is always at minimum as well.

I’ve always been very light sensitive. Tears would regularly stream down my face as a child in Australia as the sunlight was overwhelmingly bright. I was forever squinting.

Mornings ... I keep light to a bare minimum. Even throughout the day, I manage my lighting very carefully. I always wear sunglasses when driving by day. Nights, I love dimly lit rooms with mood lighting.

My stepdaughter is going to make an eye appointment for me ; when she gets back from a 3 day course she has to do . She recently started a new job as a care home manager .
