Light Sensitivity
Overview & Our Approach to Light Sensitivity
Identifying and Treating Inflammatory Sources: We begin by diagnosing the underlying inflammatory processes that contribute to light sensitivity. By addressing these root causes, we can significantly reduce or eliminate symptoms.
Supporting Photoreceptor Health: Through the use of targeted supplements, therapies, and lifestyle adjustments, we aim to enhance the function of the rods and cones, improving the eyes’ ability to adapt to light changes.
- Telehealth & In-Office Treatments: We offer comprehensive care through telehealth consultations and in-office treatments at our New Jersey office. This allows us to deliver personalized care and monitor progress closely.
- At-Home Care with ACS3000: For ongoing support, we provide patients with recommendations for at-home care strategies, including lifestyle adjustments and the use of specific devices that promote eye health.
- Targeted Supplements: Our approach incorporates specialized supplements designed to support ocular health, reduce inflammation, and improve the eyes’ resilience to light.
Symptoms & Causes of Light Sensitivity
Symptoms of Light Sensitivity:
- Discomfort or Pain: Individuals with light sensitivity often experience discomfort or pain when exposed to bright lights or even moderate lighting conditions.
- Tearing: The eyes may produce excessive tears in response to light exposure as a protective mechanism.
- Difficulty Seeing in Bright Light: People with light sensitivity may find it difficult to see clearly in bright light, often squinting or closing their eyes to reduce discomfort.
- Headaches: Light sensitivity can trigger or worsen headaches, particularly migraines, which are often accompanied by a heightened sensitivity to light.
- Avoidance Behavior: Those affected may avoid well-lit areas, wear sunglasses indoors, or prefer dimly lit environments to minimize discomfort.
Causes of Light Sensitivity:
Photoreceptor Dysfunction: The rods and cones in the retina are responsible for adapting to changes in light and dark. When these photoreceptors do not function efficiently, it can lead to increased sensitivity to light.
Inflammatory Conditions: Inflammation in the eye, often due to conditions such as uveitis, dry eyes, or corneal inflammation, can heighten light sensitivity. The inflammation disrupts normal eye function, making the eyes more reactive to light.
Dry Eyes: Dry eyes are a common cause of light sensitivity. When the eyes are not adequately lubricated, the cornea becomes more exposed and sensitive to light.
Corneal Issues: Problems with the cornea, such as abrasions, infections, or scarring, can lead to increased light sensitivity. The cornea is the eye’s outermost layer, and any damage or irritation can make it more sensitive to light.
Migraines: Migraines are often associated with light sensitivity. During a migraine attack, the brain’s processing of light is altered, making even normal light levels unbearable.
Neurological Factors: In some cases, light sensitivity can be linked to neurological conditions such as meningitis or traumatic brain injuries, where the brain’s processing of visual information is affected.
Medications: Certain medications, such as those for treating acne, high blood pressure, or psychiatric conditions, can increase light sensitivity as a side effect.
