Eye Care Warning Signs You Don't Want To Ignore

Sensitivity To Light

Light sensitivity, also called photophobia, can occur by itself or a part of a series of symptoms. Some of the most common reasons for light sensitivity are pink eye, sinus issues, and even headaches. However, several diseases carry light sensitivity as a symptom. Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's syndrome are known for making the eyes very sensitive. Other conditions to be concerned about are mononucleosis, sarcoidosis, and encephalitis, as they also cause light sensitivity fairly often. A subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a bleed that takes place in the subarachnoid space, which is where the cerebrospinal fluid circulates. An injury to this area can cause a coma, light sensitivity, paralysis, and even death.
