Photophobia

1 Reply

I have photophobia, it's difficult if not impossible to live with. If I get prolonged exposure to light, i.e. natural light or room light, or night driving light etc, I get a type of panic attack, I feel desperate to close my eyes and when it's severe I'm equally desperate to shut my burning eyes and can sleep soundly for several hours. I've only met 1 person in 20 years who has these same symptoms. Does anyone have similar symptoms here? Thanks.
