Other Eye-strain while using iPhone X and up

[Abiyork]

The closest I've seen a medical professional potentially understand a medical cause of "this issue" was informed speculation that it *may* be related to photosensitive epilepsy. But that is it's own can of worms.

If this issue has taught me anything it's that from a technical perspective, an issue will have to get "bad enough" and reach critical mass before manufacturers potentially do something about it. There was some thinking in the distant past that Apple was being more conservative in delaying the introduction of OLED displays in their products to potentially do something to mitigate the flicker problems, but I certainly remember the iPhone X like it was yesterday. I think Apple has done certain changes from generation to generation to potentially alter this issue, but I wouldn't call them an outright solution.

(Sorry for repeating my story for those who read it earlier but its relevant to the discussion)

My PWM issue resulted in a strange headache, almost like electric shock and sunburn feel to my head. I stopped using the Iphone 12 pro when I realised it was maybe related (2 weeks in) and it subsided a little but was still there.

Many doctors appointments later I paid to see a private headache neurologist who diagnosed me with NDPH (New Daily Persistent Headache) and luckily he eventually found a drug that works somewhat.

4 years later and I live through the pain, although heavily suppressed with my prescription drugs.

My Neurologist was very intrigued by my story, he knew of headaches resulting from exposure to some modern technology and he attends events worldwide to speak on new findings and treatments etc.

There are experts out there who are aware of this trigger, and there are new findings for treating these rare issues (such as botox and gammacore machines, both of which are new to when I was first diagnosed)

It may still be early in the journey for the result of PWM to be seen and recognised nut it is coming, albeit too late to help us right now.
