Difficulty adjusting to brightness
Difficulty adjusting to brightness is a clinical finding in which a person's normal response to bright light does not occur or occur as well. Typically the pupils of the eye constrict in response to bright light, letting less light in. If this does not occur, a person will feel pain due to excessive light being let into their eye.
