I have light sensitivity that is driving me nuts. I consider it to be severe because even inside my house if the curtains are open, even if the sun is not shining in (like on a rainy day) I am sitting here squinting. Sometimes my eyes are almost closed and I can just look out a little cos the light hurts my eyes and they ache.
I've tried wearing sunglasses, but they don't help. My eyes still ache, only everything is a little darker, but I still squint.
In Oct went to eye doc. I've got very dry eyes and I put eye drops in all day (he said that's good and said except for the corneal abrasions I get when I wake up, my eyes are healthy). He told me Omega 3 oil is good for dry eyes and if I take it daily in about 3 months I should start seeing some improvement.
Since my eye appointment my eyes have been changing, which I'm pretty ticked about because I can no longer wear my new glasses. I just got progressives and a separate pair of computer glasses because I couldn't see with my old ones. Now here it is 3 months later and I cannot see anything out of my progressive lenses, and I have to take off my computer glasses to see the computer and I now can see across the room with the computer glasses, but not far away. This is so so frustrating. I have a doc's appt at the end of January. I'm pretty sure I know what I have, but will get tested, etc.
Sorry if I rambled. Here is my questions (2 of them):
1. Does anyone here have severe light sensitivity and is there any solutions/relief?
2. Will Omega 3 help with the light sensitivity along with the dry eyes?
I cannot wait for my doc appt. I don't know what I'm going to do about my glasses. I cannot afford more glasses, these are brand new (worn just a few times times and were expensive), and I can't get them taken care of until I see the doc and find out what's going on. Now it's the light sensitivity that is very annoying and I'm trying to find a solution.
Thanks for any help.
