For those who experience light sensitivity (or photophobia) will know it can be quite uncomfortable during your day-to-day life, and even limit the amount of time you can spend outside or looking at glary screens some days.
Luckily, we can provide a number of lens options for your frames that can help protect your eyes and reduce the discomfort you experience in bright and glary light conditions. Below, we’ll look at some of the different types of lenses for light sensitivity and how we can tailor your glasses for light sensitivity.
Light sensitivity, or photophobia, can lead to various symptoms, including watering eyes, squinting, eye ache, and headaches. But what’s causing it? Here are a few factors that can make your eyes more light-sensitive, such as:
Specific eye diseases like macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and cataracts
