    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.
