Light Sensitivity (glasses, eyes, medical, nutritionist)

[AhRainess]

For the last 15 years or so that I can recall, my eyes have been sensitive to light. I work in an office environment and I have to turn off all the lights, especially the ones above me. I have a nice window overlooking the city, but I keep the blinds down exposing the view just a little. When I am exposed to too much light, I will get very uncomfortable. I will start to get jittery and unable to concentrate. Sometimes I might even have to wear sunglasses inside my office when the sun is too bright.

When I am outside and not sitting all day facing a computer, then the light does not bother me as much because I'm busy doing other things. Once I come back inside a room and have to sit there for more than 15 minutes, then I will start feeling uncomfortable again. I have to wear polarized sunglasses when I'm out driving or the glare gets to me. I also cannot drive very well at night. I wear daily contacts and glasses.

I have seen one opthamologist and many optometrists, but they do not know what the problem is or seem to be too concerned. I've Googled and haven't found anything to help my situation. Just wondering if anyone else suffers from this or knows more information that can help. BTW, I am in my late 30's.

That is how my problem first started. I was bothered by bright lights. I still have the problem but not as bad as yours sounds. Mine also includes problems with double vision occasionally if I stress in reading a lot which I do always since I have a computer based job.

This is not medical advice.

Weak, tired, sluggish adrenals....they don't have the strength to even keep
your pupils small...they pulsate letting in unwanted light.
Shine a flashlight in your eye in front of a mirror
your pupil should stay small...period...not pulsate...due to weak adrenals.
(One of about 140 functions of these little guys.)

Glandular supplements should rebuild/strength them...Standard Process' Drenimen...or
Nutri-West's Core Level Adrenals...and chew them.

I would see a recommended Naturopath/Certified Nutritionist combo, myself.
But I already have so now I know!

Let us know! Take care.
