TV/Computer/Video

If seizures are triggered by flashing or flickering lights:
  • Ensure that the screen is in good working order.
  • Watch television at a distance of at least 3 metres, at a 45 degree angle.
  • Always have a light on in the room to reduce contrast and glare. Place some lights above and behind the viewer.
  • Polarised sunglasses may be helpful.
  • When using a modern computer, you can adjust the blink rate of the cursor.
  • When using a computer, try to use a modern monitor. They flicker less and "refresh" faster. Or try to use a LCD screen which doesn't flicker.
