Most of the time its not the brightness itself being the issue, its the relative brightness. Yes eyes can increase/reduce the amount of light they receive (thats why at night you can still see). Some people have a lower acceptable range between these upper and lower limit. And there is nothing you can do against it without facing problems elsewhere.

Reducing brightness is 1 thing, but that is just the same as increasing brightness of the area around you. It will make it harder to spot diffirences in darker colors, this can equaly disrupt. However, the monitor often still only covers a portion of your vision (im guessing 30%), so increasing room brightness might help, especialy if you also reduced ingame brightness. And all you might need is have some light behind your monitors to brighten up your wall.

But in the end, there are limits you cant get around. If these things dont help, its very likely nothing will, and any game dev should be aware of this. Flashing effects do normaly give a warning for a reason, its not just epilepsy.
