Summary
A person with ME/CFS said light sensitivity made looking at screens painful and that they got PEM easily. They bought FL-41 sunglasses and two pairs for about $50 CAD; they wore the FL-60 pair all day indoors. Screen tolerance improved and PEM became less easy to trigger; they called it not a major change but a definite improvement.
