Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 hi again, first i want to thank marjorie and mary for their responses to my last pain post. mary, you sound very similar to me and i was interested in the part about lighting. besides facial rosacea i was diagnosed with blephrtis and ocular rosacea. i have red, dry eyes that hurt all the time. sometimes it is more annoying and other days (when i flare badly) my eyes hurt badly. besides sunlight i react badly to indoor lighting, especially flourescent. i want to know if it is a dumb idea to use sunglasses *indoors*. has anyone else done this? my sister just gave me hers and i used them in a resturaunt patio with bright lighting and it helps my eyes. i'm going through a moderate flare up now and i've been using the sunglasses here in my air conditioned apartment. it seems to calm my eyes down. the only bad part i can see is that some people may think i'm being rude. also, everyone thinks i'm blind (i have a service working dog). i've never asked a doctor if it is a good idea or not to use sunglasses all the time, indoors and out. will it make my eyes even more sensitive when i don't use the sunglasses? are their special kinds of glasses for people with photophobia or can i just use regular sunglasses? thank you again everyone. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Hi. I can't answer your question about sunglasses, but you might want to look into an anti-glare screen for your computer monitor. If it's often sunny where you live, consider tinting for car windows.
