'Ere,

Anyone know of any issues with eyes and UV light or polarisation issues
from fluorescent bulbs that can cause vision to become blurry through
whatever reason? Maybe some kind of exophoria or fourth nerve palsy
decompensation?

I did read something about UV problems....

Ta
Simon

These factors have nothing whatsoever to do with UV or Polarization.

I must stress, other than the doc hinting I might be decompensating, he
has not given any explanation as to why I experienced this blurry vision
that miraculously ceases when i use a halogen lamp or uv/polarizing
sunglasses while working under fluorescent lights.

In fact, no ones offered any answers despite my getting an MRI scan,
electrical migraine tests and other stuff.

If I am decompensating, I have not been told why I am decompensating.
But "decompensating" for whatever, is the best explanation I have right
now. But there is a definite factor it would seem in sunglasses/halogen
lamps...

Interesting.

Found this page. http://www.bsrs2000.fsnet.co.uk/new_page_13.htm

Looking at some of the "low contrast" images at the bottom. Seems
familiar actually.... really weirded why it only happens at specific
intervals... but it's something to think of. Thanks.

One question, can this apply to people under the age of 30? Im 29 right now.
