The patient’s eyes cannot open when looking at the sunlight, indicating photophobia, which is usually caused by keratitis, dry eye, inverted eyelashes and other reasons.
Keratitis is usually caused by eye trauma or lack of hygiene and inflammation of the cornea. Under the stimulation of inflammation, patients may experience eye pain, photophobia, conjunctival congestion and other symptoms.
Dry eye patients may experience photophobia, dry eyes, and foreign body sensation due to lack of tear lubrication on the surface of the eye.
Inverted eyelashes are usually associated with developmental abnormalities and scarring of the eyelid margins. Patients with inverted eyelashes may experience photophobia and foreign body sensation due to the abnormal direction of eyelash growth, which can irritate the cornea.
In addition, patients with albinism, corneal epithelial damage and other diseases may also experience symptoms of photophobia.
It is recommended that patients with significant symptoms of photophobia consult a doctor promptly to evaluate their condition and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
