Obviously if someone hasn't been diagnosed with epilepsy yet,the precautions listed above wouldn't be known.I certainly didn't know how dangerous certain strobing lights would be to epileptics.
But if, as I believe is the case here, the man knew he was epileptic, then why did he ever go to a movie theater?
Because we still have lives to lead...
When I was first diagnosed the doctores told me:
NO driving, NO swimming, NO baths, AVOID strobing lights, NO nightclubs, NO horseback riding, NO bike riding, NO, NO, NO....
At some point you decide you still have to go on living. The list of NO was crazy long.
