Strobe lighting and intermittent photic stimulation are well-documented triggers for generalized epileptiform activity and seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy.

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains specific studies and clinical reviews confirming that intermittent photic stimulation (strobe lighting or flashing lights) provokes photoparoxysmal responses and generalized seizures in patients with photosensitive epilepsy, and tinted lenses are used precisely to mitigate this.
