Lately, I have noticed a big change in my indoor light sensitivity. I have been finding rooms way too dark, have been removing my Noirs for the computer - just cannot see with them on- and the TV and have been experiencing no light related IP's that I know of. I had black- out roller blinds installed in the rooms I frequent most often, and find that to see ( even without Noirs), I have to pull them up and rely on my vertical blinds only. I find myself putting the dimmer switches up at night to see better.
I do realise that this could all change with each uppage of the phase two abx, but for now, is it necessary for me to remain in the twilight zone indoors, or can I be more relaxed about light observance. My D levels ( both) are extremely low - 25D cannot be read, and even 1,25 D falls below the normal range, so I am not concerned about getting too much D right now from indoor light. Even flourescent lighting, which really used to worry me in stores etc, is no longer bothering me.
I must mention that I am still being really vigilant about diet, and outdoor light - I wear Kabana cream on exposed skin, hats, gloves and darkest Noirs during daytime hours. Even then, I have noticed that with my protection, I can now cope with far more light exposure than I coud before.
Does this mean that I can be more relaxed about light for the moment? Has anyone else noticed this improvement?

That's really encouraging news. Unfortunately, I can't answer your questions about light.  But I figure I'll bump your question back up to the top with this ode-ette to my light meter. 
Meter de Lux
My handheld lux meter arrived yesterday by mail.
Purchased on a tip from Dr. M, I got it on sale.
Typhoon Fung-Wong in Taiwan delayed it in post,
But now that it’s here, I’ll share what I like most.
It gives to me the confidence I need
To wander all through the house without heed.
My meter de lux, whom I’ve named Luz-cinda,
Tells me when I need darker shades on the winda’.
I hold her in front of me and follow the glow,
Her digital display indicates where I can and can’t go.
She’s revealed the nuance of early morning light,
And taught me the same spot in afternoon is too bright.
So now that I’m confident I’m MP compliant,
I’ll not have to be quite so NoIR reliant.

h h h dette, you are a screeeam!
Kas, I would think you could relax the NoIRs indoors, and just watch out for daylight on your skin. If IP increases, you'll know to back-pedal!
