Glare: What you may be experiencing as you call "light" could be glare from an irregular corneal surface. If you rubbed your eyes and the surface of your cornea got roughened, this can cause glare as light passes through the irregular surface. I would recommend using artificial tears, a warm compress and resting the eyes. If the symptoms persist or get worse, then see an eye care provider. Good luck!
