My daughter suffers from epilepsy. She started with new job and she has to be in front of the computer almost whole day. I am worried that it can trigger her seizures. Is working with computer dangerous for people with epilepsy?
Working in front of a computer monitor for the majority of people with epilepsy will not be a problem and will not trigger seizures. Individuals with photosensitive epilepsy are at risk, but as far as I know Most computers work at a frequency which does not tend to provoke seizures. Laptop computers are even less likely to trigger. So, Working with computers is relatively safe.
