Sensitivity to light, medically known as photophobia, can make everyday activities like driving, using screens, or stepping outdoors uncomfortable. Bright lights may cause eye pain, squinting, headaches, or watering of the eyes. At Kiran Eye Hospital, patients receive advanced and personalised Light Sensitivity Treatment in Banashankari under the expert care of Dr. Kiran Kumar, a highly experienced ophthalmologist.

What Is Light Sensitivity and Why Does It Occur?

Light sensitivity occurs when the eyes become overly reactive to light. This may affect one or both eyes and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain. While temporary sensitivity may occur due to fatigue or dryness, persistent sensitivity often points to an underlying eye or neurological condition.

Early evaluation helps identify the cause and prevents worsening symptoms.

Common Causes of Light Sensitivity

1. Dry Eyes

When the tear film is unstable, the eye surface becomes irritated, making eyes more sensitive to light.

2. Eye Infections

Conditions such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, or corneal ulcers can cause photophobia along with redness and pain.

3. Migraine and Headaches

Migraines often cause sensitivity to light, sometimes even without direct eye disease.

4. Inflammation of the Eye

Uveitis or iritis (inflammation inside the eye) can make light exposure painful and requires urgent treatment.

5. Refractive Errors

Uncorrected vision problems or incorrect spectacles may lead to eye strain and light discomfort.

6. Cataracts

Clouding of the eye’s natural lens can cause glare and difficulty tolerating bright light.

7. Post-Surgery or Eye Injury

Eyes may temporarily become sensitive after surgery or trauma.

Identifying the exact cause is essential for effective Light Sensitivity Treatment in Banashankari.
