Seek individual advice from your specialist as the risks of seizures vary
from person to person.
Covering or shutting one eye may reduce the effects of a flashing or flickering
light if you are suddenly/unexpectedly exposed to a flickering light source.
Change channels on the TV using a remote control to avoid going
too close to the screen.
Avoid looking at poorly tuned channels or faulty TVs.
Consider using a high frequency (100 hertz) TV or one with a smaller screen.
Wearing sunglasses can reduce glare.
Avoid pastimes that require close exposure to electronic screens,
especially if they are large or involve the use of standard TV screens
(e.g. playing video games).
It is rare for seizures to be triggered by film in a cinema or hand held miniature screens.
Excess tiredness may increase the risk of photosensitive seizures.
It is important not to put blanket restrictions on all people with epilepsy
presuming that they are photosensitive. This condition is relatively rare and
unnecessary constraints on people's lifestyles must be avoid
