Welcome to Glimmer. Thank you for taking the time to post your
questions. It sounds like both your daughter and your husband could
be suffering from Scotopic Sensitivity. Scotopic Sensitivity is
often inherited.
From my personal experience, I know that having things seem to be
moving when they are not, like your daughter is talking about can be
related to Scotopic Sensitivity.
You can get information on Scotopic Sensitivity and find a testing
center or screener near you by checking out the official Irlen
Institute web site at http://www.irlen.com or by calling the Irlen
Institute at (562) 496-2550.
Please feel free to post any more questions you might have. We will
post back as soon as possible.
