1) Regardless of whether migraine is classified in a particular jurisdiction as a disability, the condition is extremely common and is temporarily highly disabling.
2) Sometimes companies do the right thing just because it's the right thing.
Re medical checkups: Diagnosis is one thing; medicine's ability to solve the problem after diagnosis is another. Migraine is rarely preventable by medication, often not even remediable or only partially remediable after it begins. The science of migraine is underdeveloped.
Re brightness: it's not monitor brightness that's the problem; it's what's happening on the monitor. Reducing brightness does not resolve that.
Dehydration is not a universal migraine cause. Perfectly well hydrated people can get migraine. It's also only one of many causes of dry eyes. Dry eye is also not a universal migraine cause, nor will hydrated eyes prevent migraines from visual stimuli. If that were the case, many of us with lifelong migraine who see our physicians and optometrists regularly would be just fine with some eye drops. We're not. FWIW, I use preventive eye-hydration treatment regularly, because I do have completely nonhydration-related dry eye. I can assure you that I've had migraine triggered from the game (and, occasionally, from this forum, since that redesign in the fall) when my eyes were very well hydrated indeed.
Finally, migraine is not a kind of eye pain. Pain located near the eyes is one of many symptoms that might or might not be part of a migraine. Eye strain is one of many triggers that might bring on or increase migraine in some, not all, migraine sufferers.
Go yell about something you understand.
