Probably a manifestation of your self admitted schizophrenia or as a side effect of your medication. Discuss with your psychiatrist.

My eye were examined by opthalmologists in Frimley Park Hospital today. They checked with lots of equipment and in the end said my eyes were excellent. But the thing is my eye sensitivity to light and eyes rolling upwards (just as far as they will go naturally) still exists. Just happened a moment ago while i was doing my reception duty under tubelights. Eventhough the eye check up result was excellent why this thing keeps on happening ? Any Suggestions for me ? Thank you!
The most common causes 1. Your bifocal RX is wrong 2. Your bifocal magnification is not strong enough 3. you need progressive no lines rather than lined bifocals 4. you have dry eyes 5. you have a mild eye muscle problem called convergence insufficiency.

After dark my eyes are so tired that I can't focus even though I wear bifocals. Needless to say having to squint is causing great discomfort
Any ideas?

I'm a schizophrenic and taking medication called Amisulipiride. Problem is the same with me. I really want to get rid of this symptom. How is it possible? I live in UK. I wish to consult with neuroophthalmologist but dont know where can i find them.
Dr. Kathryn Digre is a neuroophthalmologist at the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City. She has researched extensively and published work on photophobia. Medication side effects aside, folks with anxiety are much more likely to experience photophobia due to how the brain is wired. She has developed a special tint that is applied to glasses to filter out blue light rays that aggravate the condition. Of course, photophobia can occur for a variety of reasons (e.g., medications, dry eye, etc) and would need to to evaluated.
I do not have any experience with these medications. I suggest you start by reviewing the extended prescribing information that is in the Physicians Desk Reference PDR or similiar compendium. You may also need to do a internet search.
Finally I suggest you see a neuroophthalmologist, ideally at a well though of medical school. They are the Scherlock Holmes of the eye world.
