4. Light Sensitivity
Light sensitivity is a common symptom associated with eye infections, many chronic eye conditions, and uveitis – and if you experience sudden light sensitivity, you should make an immediate appointment with your doctor in order to establish the cause. There are many other different health conditions that can cause uveitis, and not all of them directly have to do with your eyes: Diabetes is just one example of this, and can present with everything from blurred vision to circulation issues.
If you experience light sensitivity together with pain, redness, and swelling in the eyes, it’s likely that it could be caused by uveitis and you should have the condition looked at by a doctor: These symptoms might even be present without light sensitivity being there at all. A doctor can help you to establish the cause and recommend an appropriate treatment.
For temporary light sensitivity associated with uveitis, wear sunglasses, especially when you find yourself exposed to direct sunlight.
