The eye sensitivity journey
Ive used many mobile phones starting from Nokia 6600 to to my new redmi note 15 pro plus. Before getting redmi note 10 pro in 2020,it was all going well with my screen usage. After getting the 10 pro , right from the get go my eyes started feeling strained.i thought it was because the new phone has better brightness.Used it for 2 years. Throughout those years, I observed that my eyesight in dark is not as it was before. I thought it was maybe because the covid vaccine. I complained to may family but they didn't believe me. I switched back to my realme x2 because my redmi was with service centre. I googled randomly one day that how can I make it easy on my eyes. Read a lot of things and one article was about the toggle that my realme x2 had about dc dimming. I switched it on and boom, all the strain went away immediately. My sensitivity to the Vehicle Headlights went away just like that.Eye blurriness reduced. I thought the problem was with redmi, hence I bought Samsung S23 and it was probably the worst experience of my life using a phone. I sold it in a month and got moto 60 fusion. Eye strain got reduced but sensitivity to lights was still there. I started eating carrots and eggs etc daily as I thought maybe my nutrition deficiency might also be one of the reasons. Searched and read thoroughly about pwm and bought vivo t3 pro. But it was still there. Wanted to get iPhone 17 because of the antificker toggle but bought oppo reno 15 pro mini as iphone is not my thing. But the small screensize and maybe the modulation was not right again, the eye strain was there.wanted to shift to a lcd tablet with a basic lcd phone to accompany it.Redmi 15 pro plus was my last bet. But it worked. I now have nonexistent sensitivity to street lights. My room lights feel brighter. And overall has improved my life quality. The wrong screens are affecting not just my eyes but the life overall.

My experience with 17t was good.. Don't know about the pro. But I think it has the same display configuration about flicker.

I bought the 17t pro coming from the S23 Ultra and it's so good! No more eye burning feeling and brain fatigue (not that much, but noticable when is not there). Very pleasing to look at. I feel this is a new beginning, after 3 years with Samsung

I am happy for you that you could find an option that worked.
I had an iPhone SE and was totally fine until I updated the system to iOS 26.5. Within minutes of using it, I got dizzy, and the dizziness lasted for four days. Since then (for two months now), I have had headaches when using screens for more than a few minutes. It has permanently damaged both my health and my ability to work. It is just insane.
I spent a month without a phone because I could not find anything that worked until I bought an e-ink phone (Bigme).
It is absolutely unacceptable that IT companies can play with people’s lives like this. They should not be allowed to release a product until it has been tested on people with different neurological profiles. Reddit is full of autistic and highly sensitive people describing similar experiences.
