I would suggest you find a neuro-ophthalmologist. If you're in the states, Dr. Kathleen Digre (google Moran Eye Center) specializes in photophobia, migraine, and many of the symptoms you describe. She helped to develop a tint (FL-41) for glasses that filters blue-light and has been proven to reduce photophobia. There are other treatments to help with your "overactive, hypersensitive" neurology, as well.
Well I'd like to but.. I don't really know the exact meaning of what a neuro-ophthalmology is.. but I assume it's somewhere down the lines of neurology and the optical system?
Anyway.. I don't live in the states (to kg17) I live in the Netherlands.. And the problem here is, everything has a huge waitinglist and the doctors here haven't been able to find any causes, I have allready been to a neurologist and also to an optometric (or something like that, an optical doctor at the hospital)..
They even sent me to a psychologist and a psychiatrist to see if it wasn't just all a mental problem.. But they showed that it wasn't.. and last time when my entire vision turned red and I got those burning sensations.. that really scared me..
Dear Bartolomeus,
I would recommend that you seek the care of an eyeMD specializing in neuro-ophthalmology to determine the cause of your symptoms.

Thanks, seriously, you're one of the first to have given me a decent answer in about 17 years now..
But, what I would really like are some suggestions of what may be causing this all.. I mean, I really want it all to stop, medication doesn't work up till now, and neither does anybody know what could cause it, therefore there is no direct solution..
but kg17, this was very helpfull, I'll go and look it up.. thanks..
