Light sensitivity
by J_Lynn, Oct 12, 2007 12:17PM
My husband and I went camping back in July and ever sence he has had pretty bad light sensitivity. At first his mom suggested he might have sun burned his eye and to give it time.. Well, it has not gone away.
Now it is getting to the point where it hurts so bad it is making him feel ill and he can't open his eyes. I should note that I have no info on what a doctor would say cause we have no insurance cause we can't afford it.. hopefully soon.
So if anyone know reason that might cause this that we can look into, at least untill we can see about getting him into a doctor, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I suggest you make an appointment immediately to see a board-certified ophthalmologist. These symptoms are very worrisome. Please get it checked out right away!
