A link that you might be interested in: Dr Helen Irlen in California has been researching light sensitivity and it’s impact on reading for almost 2 decades. A significant proportion of the population (perhaps up to 15%) are adversely affected by their exposure to fluorescent lights, especially in terms of reading ability, fatigue and headaches. While her work only covers a small subset of the adverse effects of fluorescent lights, even predating CFl’s, some people may find it helpful to look at her website: http://www.irlen.com for suggestions on how to make accommodations in the school/workplace. As computer monitors are now mainly fluorescent back lit, they can trigger adverse symptoms as well.

Thank you. Your suggestion is appreciated.
As you can see, Dr. Kenneth Ciuffreda has also done research on this topic. In fact I have glasses made with a tint he recommended to filter out some of the flicker form the CFLs.
