VerifiedMultifocal contacts may not suit you euther because of nystagmus but you can go for a trial. If it does not cause you ay problems, you can go for it. As far as green prescription glasses are concerned, they may not be good as has been seen in some studies. You should see an ophthalmologist to find the cause for photosensitive eyes. Try to treat the underlying cause. You can try a lubricating drop like Refresh Tears. See, if that helps. Thanks and best wishes.
The risk is there so you should avoid it. You can go through the following study on rats in which it was found that green light can damage the retina. Thanks and best wishes.
