Introduction
Basic information
about photosensitivity
Photosensitivity is a specific type of sensitivity to light that can occur in some individuals. When a person with photosensitivity is exposed to intense or flashing light, their brain may react in an unusual way. This can sometimes lead to seizures, which are brief moments when the brain does not function properly.
Photosensitivity
diagnostics
Doctors may use special tests, such as EEG (electroencephalogram), to check how the brain responds to different types of light. During such a test, the patient is shown flashing light, and a special device records brain activity. If the brain reacts in an unusual way, it may indicate photosensitivity. An interesting way to reduce the risk of seizures in individuals with photosensitivity is the use of special glasses. These glasses have filters that block certain types of light, especially red. Wearing such glasses in daily life can help reduce light-induced seizures.
It is important to remember that photosensitivity varies from person to person, and not everyone with epilepsy is sensitive to light.
If you have any concerns about photosensitivity or epilepsy, it is best to consult a doctor who can provide more detailed information and recommendations.
