This may sound weird but has anyone else get dizzy or feel sick in places with florescent lights? I don't know if its the chemo or hormonal or what but I keep feeling sick at the gym I work at. I know florescent lights can cause this but it never happened before to me.

    I've heard of something called Irlen syndrome (I think that is what it is called), where lights can cause anything from migraines to dizziness. Apparently coloured filtered glasses can help. Don't know anything about it at all, just a faint memory dredged up from the depths of the mind.

    I wear Blue Blocker sunglasses in those areas. I also use them for night time driving. I have a pair that fit over my regular glasses. It looks totally weird at the Library, but otherwise I get the vapors in those places.

    My eyes are permanentlybloodshot and super sensitive to fluorescent light at work due to Xeloda but no dizziness.

    I never feel this way but one of my friends told me this type of problem she was facing. It is mostly women that complain about florescents. Sunglasses can be used as they will provide comfort and protection but it is not enough. Therefore you must take proper attention towards this, and consult an expert or visit elsunglasses.com for more options.
