Hi Rachel @rwinney. I have noticed my new glasses have made a significant difference in decreasing my photophobia. With the prescription eyes glasses, each eye sees the same magnification thereby decreasing the strain. I still have the double vision. With a lower sensitivity to light, I am able to open both eyes more. I use the lubricating eye drops. I am wondering what you can do to decrease your eye strain. Ask your ophthalmologist if your photophobia is related to eye strain. I still have some eye strain due to the diplopia but apparently I reduced just enough to cause the photophobia to decrease. I hope you get some relief. My mother has macular degeneration and complains of photophobia. Unfortunately all she can do is wear sunglasses outdoors for help.
