What can I try to help with brains that notice light more?

Wear a cap or tinted glasses indoors if fluorescent lights bother you. Some people find lenses with a slight tint (amber, pink, or green) reduce visual stress — you can ask an optician about precision-tinted lenses. Request to sit away from windows and fluorescent lights in class. A simple statement works: "Bright light gives me headaches and makes it harder to concentrate. Can I sit in a different spot?" At home, replace overhead fluorescent lights with warm-toned lamps or use dimmer switches. Natural light and indirect lighting are usually more comfortable for light-sensitive brains.
