Miss H – East Germany

April 29, 2019 Filed Under: Individual Stories

In my institute  interactive boards are used almost everywhere. These are giant touchscreens that can be used in almost any classroom PowerPoint presentation or similar. On the first day of the training I realized that I get a headache from the bright light these screens emit and feel generally uncomfortable.

A regular daily workload is eight lessons.  After that the pain did not subside until  the late eventing.  Therefore,  within the first week I started looking for suitable blue light blocker glasses.

Since then, I always have the glasses with me for use when I need them. I also use the glasses on my home PC.  Before I attended the institute, I did not realize that my headaches were related to my own screen because I did not use it much.  I also put the glasses on for shopping, in stores or facilities with LED lighting or fluorescent tubes, because  these are often too bright without the glasses. I understand the glasses as a compromise, so I can use public facilities and technology
without or with little headache. 

Incidentally, I use incandescent lamps at home.
