Why is my vision so sensitive to light? is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Light sensitivity : Light sensitivity can be caused by many things. Fair skin color,light colored iris & decreased retinal pigment, can all cause light sensitivity. Typically, this is present throughout life. If the symptoms are new ,it could represent early cataract formation. I suggest evaluation with an ophthalmologist.
