Lighting Effects In theatre
My vision blurs with certain kinds of lights, what is this?
My eyesight is perfect, except when I have to look at light up signs, like at a movie theater or the sign for Speedway my vision blurs so bad I cannot see. It's just a mash of blurry light. I can't read ANY of it.
Certain kinds of lights make me eyes worse than others and it's ONLY light in the middle of dark that does this. Usually it's the really really white light that is the worst. Streetlights don't really effect my eyes.
Like I said, outside of this my vision is absolutely perfect.
It's like I have cataracts.
But I'm 17.
I don't want glasses.
And how the bloody hell will glasses help?!
Do I need eye surgery or something?
What is this?
You should be fine, but definitely get your eyes checked out. If you feel any pain then go to the hospital immediately. Could be something serious, but with a super simple treatment; like eye drops.

Under this misconception, he decides to induce a thorough make-over of an uneducated girl, named Eliza, living in the streets of London. with a view to turn her into a poised high-class lady. In the process of teaching her smart ways to communicate, he realizes that changing lifestyles is more than just changing the way you speak. It’s a complicated emotional process.
“Pygmalion” stars Claire Danes as Eliza. This is her debut production on Broadway. With this show, she has got a role in another Broadway production titled “Stardust”, in which she stars opposite Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro!
The people behind the curtains include Gregory Clarke, who is responsible for the incredible sound effects during the show; Jason Taylor, who has rendered a multi-dimensional look to each scene through the lighting arrangement; and Jonathan Fensom, who has designed terrific costumes as well as sets, to make the entire story look real on stage. The creative team also includes Majella Hurley, who is a dialect coach. He assists Jefferson perform better as Henry Higgins, who takes up the task of changing Eliza’s dialect.
“Pygmalion” will start its previews on September 21, at the American Airlines Theatre. The opening night is scheduled to be held on October 18 this year. The show will run through December 16.
