Photophobia is a condition characterized by an increased sensitivity to light. People with photophobia may experience discomfort or pain in bright environments, which can lead to squinting or the need to wear sunglasses indoors. This sensitivity can be triggered by various factors, including migraines, eye conditions, or certain medications. The severity of photophobia can vary from person to person. While some may only feel mild discomfort, others might find it challenging to be in well-lit areas. Treatment often focuses on managing the underlying cause and may include lifestyle adjustments, such as wearing protective eyewear or reducing exposure to bright lights.
