Those test numbers are not bad. Hope that they find a cause of your light sensitivity.

would get a second opinion from an different ophthalmologist. Increased light sensitivity can indicate problems on the cornea, lens, macula or inflammation in the eye. Most like the eye color change you are observing is an corneal arcus forming. Use Google and Google images to see pictures of corneal arcus. If you are 55 or older it is generally a normal aging change of the eye like the hair graying. If younger than 55 you need your blood cholesterol and triglycerides checked.
