My wife has finally learned that I'm ok with overhead lightning, but it can't be at 100% it actually makes my eyes hurt at max intensity. I'm also a ginger and recently learned we apparently tend to have sensitivities to light as well. I never stood a chance lol

How have you managed to adapt to getting struck by lightning regularly? This is something I've been trying to sort out for myself or some time so needless to say I am very curious

Lol, the smartass answer is: not easily. The serious answer for me has been a really good pair of polarized anti-glare sunglasses. I wear glasses myself so the sunglasses are prescription and my regular glasses are also transition. Whenever possible I use lights that can be dimmed and prefer using non overhead lighting. My house has a lot of windows so I will usually keep those open since that bothers me less than the regular lights. But as it gets later in the day my eyes get more sensitive so I will dim/turnoff lights gradually as it gets later. Obviously I'm not always in locations with this much control so sometimes I have to tough it out for a bit. The sunglasses are lifesavers in those instances because they aren't just dark to help with brightness so I can usually wear them even inside and still be able to see. Sorry for the formatting since I'm on my phone and hopefully that helps at least somewhat.
