Is it really uncommon for someone to have photophobia(light sensitivity) in their teens?
i mean ive been to florida when its the sunniest but ive had to stay out of the light and my eyes closed as much as possible because they burn unbearably.
It runs in the family from my grandfathers side. but alot of the kids grew out of it, my dad and grandfather unfortunately didn't.
Thanks i maybe will, though when at the opticians he just said because a bit of photophobia to shove some tints on and see how it went. The migrains after a while did die down now i just get them if im extremely tired or havent wore my glasses whilst working with white things( paper, computers, some shops, or excessive sunlight)
There should be a reason for a young person having such abnormal photophobia (sensitivity to light).
Try and wrangle an evaluation by an ophthalmologist that specializes in cornea and external disease.
