Hi Paul

yes, there is documented and anecdotal information on photosensitivity triggering tics.

It seems the flicker is the main offender, and many parents have found that not only fluorescent lighting, but also screen flicker (TV, cinema and computer) can also be a tic trigger.

LCD screens are better than CRT as the flicker is reduced


There is a ton of info on photosensitivity and other triggers for tics at Latitudes/ ACN
