Sensitivity to light

Sensitivity to light, known as photophobia, refers to a condition where the eyes become uncomfortable or pain occurs when exposed to bright light. It can result from various causes, such as eye strain, inflammation, migraines, or underlying health issues. When sensitive, the eyes may involuntarily squint or feel irritated in well-lit environments. Managing light sensitivity often involves wearing sunglasses, using softer lighting, or treating the underlying condition. If persistent, it’s advisable to consult an eye care professional to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
