Hey now there's nothing weird about being completely unable to focus under fluorescent lights.
I learned recently that not everyone can see the fluorescent flicker. It's unnerving and feels a bit like being buzzed on caffeine. It's not so bad in the offices with indirect lighting. Also, cheap LED lights can flicker. I clung to my incandescent lights until they all burnt out.
Wait they can't? Although now that I think about it, there's certain cheap LED lights that I can see the flicker and my girlfriend cant
It's supposed to be common that people can catch the flicker in the corner of their eye
I mean I've had her stare at it with me for a couple of minutes and she was adamant she couldn't see what I saw, i had to take out my phone camera and show her the frame rate flickering
