Three suggestions: 1) Turn off the flourescents,if possible, and use incandescent lights, virtually no flicker. 2) Try to get "warm" (mostly red) bulbs installed to replace the cool white normally used. They cost more and give less light per watt so they are not usually used in open spaces but the red phosphor used has a longer decay time and so reduces flicker. 3) Wait thirty years, at age twenty this bothered me a lot too, now it much better.
