NO T.V, THE PAIN BEHIND HIS RIGHT EYEBALL WAS BAD YESTERDAY, THE SURGEON SAYS INFLAMMATION ! HE IS DOWN TO 1 DROP IN THE EYE 1 TIME A DAY! LOTAMAX ! I READ IT CAN CAUSE LIGHT SENSITIVITY! HE IS LOST, LOSING HIS MIND, CANT HAVE THE FUN LIFE HE LEADS HERE IN FLORIDA ! WILL THIS GET BETTER ? THE DOC HAD NO ANWSERS, AND SAYS KEEP PUTTING THE CRAP IN HIS EYE !

Dear Friend, here's one suggestion for visiting the dentist, optometrist, and any other doctors that shine bright lights in your eyes: wear eye masks. I recommend hypoallergenic cotton eye masks from Cottonique. Good luck! Julie

1 ReactionEyes very dry,light really bothers my eyes.flickering makes me jerk.
Wearing sunglasses inside with bright lights. I wonder what causes this?
Is there anything to help?
Thanks for listening.
With me, I suffer with extreme light and vibration sensitivity at the end of my Botox cycle (3 months of coverage). Usually starts during the last 10 days of the cycle. Stay in dimly lit rooms and remind my husband (frequently) that he can’t stomp his way across the floor. When that doesn’t work, then ice becomes my best friend. I keep 4 gel ice packs in my freezer for these days. Keeping the volume down on the TV helps too.
