A member asked:

Can light sensitivity cause blurred vision and does it require spectacles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Separate issues: Light sensitivity can occur from a variety of sources including head trauma, corneal breakdown and internal eye inflammation. The need for spectacles is a separate item and there is no connection between the two.
