Balance issues with sensitivity to light

[0224]

I started my physical therapy today.  The physical therapy says that it seems lmy balance issues are from my vision problems to light?  Have anybody out there experienced this and did it improve after surgery?

Your sensitivity to light (which I imagine will always be an issue with many of us) can probably contribute to other things as well - headaches mostly. Do you have to be outside a lot? I know sunlight is really difficult if you are sensitive to light. Inside my house I have drastically adjusted the light on difficult days. If I close some curtains in really bright rooms, it seems to help.

I hope physical therapy is helpful to you. It seems like many people have difficulties with it.
