I am not familiar with that problem. Now my 9 year old went to a check and the doc said she has photo phobia and need eye glasses.

reading a bit about the topic makes me wonder if the doc is correct. We life in the Philippines and since about 3 month it is bright sunshine with millions of reflections from the ocean.

Can it be something temporarily, where good sunglasses might be enough, or can I expect that she need eye glasses for ever ?

Homoeopathic has a very good remedy that cures this problem within days. Consult a good homoeopath and ask for “Conium”. Using Homoeopathic medicine without consultation from a good doctor is like committing suicide.

In response to observant comments here, I am, admittedly, very bad at changing my extended-wear Contact Lenses. They are so comfortable I hardly know they are there. That is, however, until they obviously deteriorate or I contract a Sinus infection – which happens from time to time. The result is that my eyes, most notably the right, suffer from the inflamed sinus pressure and this gives way to redness, possibly conjunctivitis, but definitely a debilitating and intolerable sensitivity to bright sunlight and the flashing lights on Police Cars, Ambulances and the like. At the very first signs, the contacts are extracted and I resort to spectacles for a day or two and then replace the lenses with new ones – and scold myself for my forgetfulness.

I am a previous welder of six years and developed headaches dizziness and vertigo 16 mounths after becoming a welder. I resently linked bright lights flashing lights or flickering lights the trigger to these symptoms. Workers compansation denied my claim due to lack of clinical evidance. I worked in a welding environment which weld arc was poorly blocked and was exposed to this seven days a week 8-12 hours a day for 16 months before i developed my severe symptoms.
Could you please send info on doctors or clinical reports to me regarding welding arc and photophobia and any links that my cause these proplems
Thanks in advance !
