A member asked:

Besides an anti glare screen, what else could a light sensitive person use to work with computers so the light won't affect as much ?

Control brightness : You have a brightness control in settings which can be raised and lowered to comfort, also ambient light is necessary to avoid the appearance of over bright glare in a dark room. Some find a blue light lens filter works best, but you can try varied colored lenses if that one doesn’t work for you. Good luck
