Hello,
Six months ago my workplace changed the lighting above my workstation. They changed from a warmer colored fluorescent bulb to a brighter/white/blue colored bulb. The bulbs' color temperatures went from around 3000k to around 4500k.
Both are fluorescent, and I had absolutely no problems with the old lighting, however this new lighting is making me miserable. At work I deal with extreme eye pain (burning pain, aches), headaches, and nausea. By the end of the day I feel fatigued and fluey. Once I'm home, or anywhere away from that lighting (though nighttime driving can be very harsh as well), i start getting immediately better, and over a weekend i improve 100%. But every Monday at work, it comes back. My tolerance for this specific blue/white lighting is now much lower for other locations they exist (grocery stores, big box stores, etc) when before they didn't bother me.
I've been to multiple ophthalmologists and there is nothing wrong with my eyes physically. I am going to see a neurologist this week, but I would like to know ahead of time what might be going on, so I can ask more specific questions in case they try to tell me there's nothing wrong with me! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
