This started after a viral infection where I lost my voice for 10 weeks. My symptoms are loss of balance, confusion, slurred speech, tinnitus, vertigo. Natural light, as well as incadescent lighting is fine. Compact flourescents as well concentrated lights such as potlights, flood lights, bright lights with a white or bluish colour,will trigger vestibular migraines. I am now taking Gabapentin but I don't see a dramatic result. I would like o know if anyone else is experiencing the same condition and if they have had better results with other therapies.

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 ? I am not familiar with that problem.

Consult a good homoeopath and ask for "Conium". Using Homoeopathic medicine without consultation from a good doctor is like committing suicide.

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.
