Should I Be Co Concerned About Seeing The New Star Wars Movie?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tampa, FL

My last seizure was in June 2015 due to lack of sleep and stress. I never have issues with strobe lights however I see warnings alot lately about them at Universal Orlando and The Watchman series.

Totally agree with BryanMartin. The lights effect some people and not others. It’s great to see these types of warnings are now happening. Keep well.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member this warning is for the photosensitivity seizures. if you have flashing lights or strobe lights then dont watch it. if you dont have photosensitity, then watch it.

I've never had problems with strobe lights or any type of blinking lights. We were worried about it at first so I went somewhere safe where strobe lights were and I came out fine. I've been to many concerts with strobe lights blinking like crazy and I've been ok. I'm planing on seeing the Star Wars movie very soon and I'm not worried about it.

This is just me though, everyone is different. Just because I don't doesn't mean that you will. If you're worried about it then I wouldn't go see it.

Sometimes when I go to a concert they begin with strobe lights. I just put hands over My eyes.

I've never had a problem with strobe lighting but I find it annoying so I close my eyes & cover them Our news bulletins always start a story with There are flashing lights in this report (usually cameras )
