Computer screens are something that I'm having issues with as well. I've tried everything (screen brightness, reading glasses, Flux program, computer glasses, etc) and so far nothing has helped.

I had to quit working full-time last year because of this, and my symptoms have gotten better overall after I stopped forcing myself to look at computer screens all day.

So far the only thing that I found as a possibility is issues with how the eyes work together (for example convergence insufficiency). I've tried vision therapy a couple of times, but haven't had any luck so far.

Went to a new neuro-optometrist that was trained by the Vision Specialist of Michigan (Is it My Eyes that are causing my headaches, nausea, dizziness) and she did a bunch of tests on my eyes and said that my eyes are vertically misaligned and that's why the brain is always struggling. She prescribed me new glasses which I'm going to pick up sometime this week, will let you know how it goes.

March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.

Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
