Is there a relation between sunlight sensitivity and night blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Although an increase in sunlight sensitivity can be associated with eye disease, most sunlight sensitivity is caused by a relative lack of pigment in the eye. In other words, people with light colored eyes are generally more light sensitive than people with dark eyes.
