Extreme light sensitivity. What can be done?

Hello @sunny1971, Greetings from another light sensitive eye person. SFN (small fiber neuropathy) creates heightened sun sensitivity. I lived on top of a mountain and generally above the cloud bank in addition to the frequent total sun days with low humidity. My Opthamologist had me try different sun glass lenses until we found one that blocks more sunlight.

They worked well and I am on my 4th pair. One, two, and three were left in a restaurant or office somewhere. I have #4 now and wonder if I can keep from losing them one more time. What has also helped is moving to a state with higher humidity.

May you be content and free of discomfort.
Chris

@sunny1971 On the heels of what Chris has suggested....my Neuro Opthamologist suggested FL-41 lenses for my photophobia from corneal disease and migraine. Axon Specs and TheraSpecs provide many options. It's all about the tint and what works best for each person's case. A wrap around pair, the kind that are big and protect front and side entry of light. Almost like cataract glasses. Surf the internet to find multiple options. It will be trial and error to hopefully find the better option for your husband. Also, I'm wondering if he is using preservative free lubricating drops for dry eye?
