Dry Eye
Dry eye disease is a common condition where inadequate or poor-quality tears leave the eyes feeling gritty, burning, and watery, potentially blurring vision and harming the cornea.
Light sensitivity, or photophobia, is a condition where normal light causes discomfort or pain in the eyes, often linked to underlying eye, neurological, or systemic issues.

Common questions we get asked about Light Sensitivity.
Yes, while light sensitivity is often benign, it can also signal underlying issues like eye inflammation, neurological conditions, or infections. A comprehensive eye exam is important to rule out serious causes.
Nutrients like lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids can support retinal and nerve health, potentially easing light sensitivity. A diet rich in leafy greens, colorful vegetables, and healthy fats is recommended.
Absolutely. Chronic stress can impact the nervous system and contribute to eye strain, tension, and sensitivity. Techniques like meditation, Qigong, and breathwork may help reduce this effect.
While less common, children can experience light sensitivity due to eye strain, dry eyes, or neurological triggers like migraines. It’s important to rule out causes early with a pediatric eye specialist.
Blue light-filtering lenses may help reduce discomfort for people who are sensitive to screen exposure, especially if they spend long hours on digital devices. They're a helpful part of an overall eye care strategy.
