Page one. this is a through explaination.
8 weeks ago I had a severe accident and broke my nose and cheekbone. I also cracked the bone on the outside edge of my eye but did NOT hurt the socket of my eye and did NOT have my oribital floor or walls break also did NOT injury the eye itsself. I had 2 plates put on the outside of my head near eye and one for my cheekbone. I also had to have nose rebuilt. I had one opthalmologist see me 2 days after surgery and said everything was healthy. Seen her again 3 weeks later and she said everything was healthy. Went and seen a neuro- opthalmologist that my ENT doctor recommends and he said everything was very healthy and my intercranial pressures for both eyes was healthy.

No inflammation of nerves for eyes and eye is clear and healthy.
Yesterday I had underline swelling move around yesterday. It would move around nose causing more light sensitivity to cheek to upper lip which would cause less light sensitivity by that time then back to nose which would cause light sensitivity to get worse till it would move to upper lip again. This is what is making me think it is swelling causing this and my brain is thinking it is inflammation instead of injury.
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Usually it would be due to inflammation or traumatic cataract but if you are sure you had adequate exams for these, it could theoretically be due to nerve irritation as well. If you get better with time= good sign. If any symptom seems to get worse, you need to go back to ophthalmologist.

My retina was healthy and my optic nerve was healthy. My eye had no inflammation and no concerns at all. Tear production and draining are correct and healthy. My pupil does react with no concerns to light and darkeness the same as my good eye. I have had light senstivity since the accident real bad in my eye that all the surgeries happened to. I'm testing at 20/30 to 20/40 vision but vision is not clear in eye like my good eye. It is not blurry or doulble vision or that I have dark spots in it. I have no light flashes or floaters or white blinding spots. No pain when moving eye or constant headaches only get headache when at work and I take breaks to help it. It is just bothersome to see with any light around especially halogen office lights. I'm wondering what is causing this and worst case how long it will take to go away. I'm wondering if it is caused by all the swelling I had from my injury causing my eye to send to my brain signals that it has inflammation around it and in the sinus cause I had alot of swelling around eye, nose, and cheekbone area. The major swelling has subsided but am told there is underlying swelling but I can feel alot disappearing cause it moves thru my face and then disappears. I've always had perfect vision and it is just nerve racking and bothersome that my eye is acting up.
