What can be done about contact lenses causing sensitivity to light?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunglasses: Based on many years of personal experience, this is a common side effect of having contact lenses. I highly recommend polarized sunglasses for whenever you are outside. They particularly help if it is light outside and raining.
