One of my "seasons" of CH started while I was in a movie theater watching "The Fisher King". I had to leave the theater and head home. Maybe the theater lights were too low and the screen was causing too much of a glare. I see lots of movies, and almost never get a CH as a result of one. But our brains can be very sensitive to light. I work with a lady that had a large tumor removed from the frontal lobe of her brain. The part of the brain that filters out lots of stuff the brain doesn't need to deal with . . . like computer monitor/tv/movie screen lights flickering. Since her operation, she is bothered by the sounds eminating from flourescent lights, and all of the flickering lights mentioned previously. It causes her face to go numb, etc. I used to be bothered by glares coming from the back left side of my head. But now I don't get bothered by that as much. But bright glaring clouds do bother me.
