i miss the good eyes i had :(
I feel that bro, I took shrooms an it fucked my eyes up pretty bad, I had HPPD for 9 months an it went away but left my eyes blurry
Not a single mention of digital screens or lack of natural light. Brilliant.
I'm 14 and I've been squinting basically all my life out in the day. I've just started to notice how my friends easily look up to the Sky and how when I do it gives me discomfort, and my eyes close almost as if I can't control them. I have dark hair, very pale skin(hard to tan) freckles, and green eyes. I do suffer from hormonal migraines, and I've been having dreams of where I can hardly open my eyes all day due to sensitivity. I'm guessing it's from the migraines but I truly have no idea. Thank you for this video, I'm due for an optician appointment soon so I'll mention that to them
omg same! I could've written this ...a good pair of sunglasses is my BFF every time I step outside 😎😎
How are u now?
@Terrence Morgan hi bro
@Terrence Morgan yes i have Visual snow and dry eyes
@Terrence Morgan u have light sensitivity.
But for me artifical light blub are big problem 😥
My eyes feels like they're going to explode when I go outside. It doesn't even have to be that sunny.
I have light coloured eyes, but I still take it for the worst lmao
Im asian mines are black but heckin sensitive to sun
I had a migraine yesterday and I woke up this morning and my eyes were really sensitive
What did you do to fix it? I just woke up to realise my right eye has become sensitive too.
@@obinnaobiekwe4910 any solutions u got?
Me too
Up
@@obinnaobiekwe4910wtf same here 🥲
I’m 23 but over the years my body keeps getting worse. All started when I was 18 - first thing I got was and still is ED, later when I was 20 I got kidney stones and when I turned 21 I become and still am ultra sensitive to virtual light. I always wear orange tint glasses indoors during the UK winter and I wear yellow or slight yellow tint outdoors almost all the time.
My daughter and I became very light sensitive after we each had serious concussions. It has improved a lot, but I still have to wear sunglasses outside all the time.
How's it now?
Same here
My eyes have always been sensitive to light. Probably due to my light eyes, also genetic. But now I can't look at my cellphone for longer than 15 minutes at most before my eyes hurt terribly, and everything goes out of focus. Got to see my eye doctor.
Did you ever find out what it was?
yeah are you good now?
Mam same problem with me😞
@@minhalabdi6374 it is eye weakness and can be cured
@@Aspirant327 how to cure it sir, please help 😭
That's me !
Thanks for helping spot the problem and giving me a starting point for better information. everything mentioned at the beginning applies in my case. The inflammation due to arthritis -]] I have a compromised immune systems open doors to the possibilities for the other more serous challenges.
ore troublesome are 6000 Kelvin & HID auto headlights are painful & the a viral social media craze makes it even worse.
Im only 12 it all started when i was 11
Everytime i woke up my eyes i very hard to open and theres a sudden drop of liquid from my eyes.Everytime i get put of bed i would have vision blurriness and a migrain.In a matter of seconds my vision will go back to normal but i feel lightheaded.Whenever i go straight outside the same thing will happen again i will constantly feel dizzy and my vision turn to full grey or black (it depends)and back to normal
That is the reason why i told my mom to buy me an anti-radiation glasses but nothing chang at all
I have dark brown eyes and am very fair. I have always been pretty sensitive to light. Thanks for enlightening me. Most people are surprised that I am sensitive to light due to my eye color.
Thank you
i dont even know if i got it. what i do know is if i start turning on lights or leave on the lights i squint, get headaches and the worst bit is sleepy. ive always felt that way.
thanks
My dad put some super bright light in our house since then my eyes start paining
Wearing my clip on sunglasses with my high index progressive eyeglasses helps so much.
I have dark eyes, my skin isn't so light, and there really seems I have no other reason but I have been uniquely sensible to light my whole life, by unique I mean when I'm walking down the street and the sunlight is directed to my eyes I can barely keep my eyes open and all I see is either intense light or shadow and nothing else and I can only use this not to trip or bump into people on my way, whereas if I'm walking with someone they always see pretty normally under the same conditions, otherwise even when using my phone for so long or looking at direct artificial strong light I have no problem at all.
I used paint thiners 2 months ago and it has caused my eyes sensitive to lights and sunlight.i cant even look at a computer screen.The fumes has caused irritation in my eyes.
Taking Folate instead of folic acid almost CURED my light induced migraine. When I was DIAGNOSED with MTHFR, then it all made sense , as my daughter had developed spina bifida when she was 5. My analogy is that, since folate is an enzyme, that allows many systems to activate in the body and brain, I think its enzyme action , allows light to process all the way thru my brain, instead of the light being stuck in my eyeballs , that quickly becomes an annoying Aura flair of light. Folate also works with dopamine , serotonin and epinephrine. So it helps with improve brain fog , depression ...and cancer , heart attacks etc.
FYI...Many people cant process folic acid and they need FOLATE.
oh gosh getting in the deep end pretty quick here -
I have CLL and a lot of pain talked about here, so I searched for MTHFR vs (Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase)_ and found
What gene mutation is associated with CLL?
Approximately 80% of CLL patients carry at least 1 of 4 common chromosomal alterations, namely deletion ...
-trending rise of CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and its impact ...
arterial thrombosis
complications such as spider vien induced skin problems
what we see the people dieing from comprimized immune systems problems for people with AIDS, or any AutoImune system that starts attacking itself
such as Lupios

I'm here because I've just woken up to realise my right eye has become sensitive to light all of a sudden.
i was diagnosed with a "corneal erosion" in the right eye and after 2 weeks almost of daily Corneregel and Nettacin, it just got worse, slightly yellowy hint in vision and blurriness. Mind you when i first saw the doc, my vision was perfectly clear and never wore glasses. Now the left eye also seems to start having problems with bright daylight. Also worth mentioning, my top eyelid i noticed was a bit lower for months now, then suddenly from staying a lot in front of the monitor, the right eye got all red, and lacrimated non stop and closed itself, then i went to the doc. Now i can open it but it won't stay up for long... i'm scared. Also i never was sensitive to light ever (brown eyes)
You any better ?
@@Corfox-pl2vn yea
how are you doing now?
@@honeysenpaiii6196 thanks, better, the erosion is fixed. Have a nice day.
can adrenal fatigue cause light sensitivity?
I have mobile anxiety sensitivity, when I use it's irritate
Is that also because of using mobile
Brown eyes and light sensitive
I experience this all the time..
Assalamualaikum brother how are you now 😥
I have same
What did you do
11 weeks ago- then 4 yr old given antibiotic for SIBO. 6 days later child became sick with a cold. 2 days later photosensitivity began along with abnormal heart rythym, occassional headaches, occassional eye pain, intense sore throat.. Cold progressed but doctors did not figure out it qas strep for another 5 weeks. Child treated. Photosensitivity progressed slowly, never improving. Chold free of all colds and all infection. Vrain CT showed no tumor, bkoodwork normal except for slightly high sugar. Two ER doctors.1 cardiologist. 1 optometrist. 4 pcps. No one can tell me why he can tolerate less than 20% of light. Eyes: sometimes blurry; sometimes painful; sometimes headaches. Sudden severe eye disturbances when he sees light are more regular, occuring at least a dozen times a day. Blurriness 2-6 times per day. Cannot look at any screen 90% of the time. Child likely has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome like his mother and all siblings. Child unusually clumsy x1yr. Told it was b/c of flat feet. Falls common. Head bumps common. No history of eye issues prior. 1 brother has severe Ambliopia and Strabismus, legally blind in one eye. No answers at all. Problem progressing. New symptom: Child smells things no one else can smell. Seeing eyes specialist and neurologist in 2 weeks. This is mom and i am desperate. Having EDS I am used to being falsely diagnosed. My instinct is that the antibiotic caused this. My family thinks its EDS related. OT thinks possible concussion syndrome. Father thinks strep related. Please.. Will accept and investigate all opinions. Im desperate to help my son.
Might be flouroquinine toxicity
Hope you find a cure for your son
I'm sending prayers❤
How are things now are they improved ? Antibiotics can cause it specially if it's cipro
Could allergies also cause this? My dad said that this happens to him sometimes. It usually subsides within a few days or so.
if the allergies cause headaches too then yeah maybe, safer to see a doctor to make sure tho
I think I'm sensitive to light because I used to have Seizures.
They got checked jst said I had photo phobia bunt my vision gets distorted from light to sensitive maybe I’m lacking vitamin times days it’s worser then others. Odd eaven hospitals time bck said was jst photophobia after they looked at bck my eyes
Ok mine is kinda weird but my eyes became quite light sensitive after my brother's did but it went away for him so did mine but my eyes still hurt to look at light
I don’t think it goes away. How his got away?
You’ve missed a huge factor. The intense blue light from LED lamps that are now everywhere! Also, unshielded lamps of all types, but most especially the incredibly bright LED lamps. In decades gone we used lamp shades and bounced light off walls and ceilings. Now we choose to destroy peoples eyes by using naked bright sources.
Exactly!!! It has been making me extremely sick and we can’t scape it is everywhere! There are no documentaries or reportage regarding the malevolence of those lights on human body. Which is very strange. I have been suffering quite a lot lately because where I work they are awfully bright. I soon will have to quit my job and find something to do from somewhere where I am not exposed to those lights. Phosphorescent lights are harmful to many people.
@@sarahb4484 Sarah, I am so sorry you are going through this. My experience when my organization moved into a new building lit entirely with LEDs at the RG0 standard was this:
About 10% of us were severely harmed by the intense 452 blue light. It ended our careers. Another ~20% were seriously adversely impacted. About 3% of the total of us were harmed sufficiently severely to require immediate medical attention. I was the most impacted.
About 1% of us (me included) were severely impacted by the flicker too.
Since there is ZERO occupational data on the injuries, as far as the occupational folks are concerned there is nothing wrong. i.e. To them, you can only be harmed if there is a prior proven harm from such exposures. With ZERO history of this type of light in use, no occupational data exists, and the science is limited.
On first principles it is trivially easy to show extreme harm to some individuals. and oh by the way, about 1-2% of our people saw better and did better with the lights.
The difference is that humanity is not monolithic. We are NOT all the same, or even close. We are in fact and many polymodal population with many genetic and physiologic differences.
In my case, I am extremely blue light sensitive. My ancestors were adapted to see in the near dark of the arctic winter and relied on very low levels of blue light for that. Our nerves run faster too. A lot faster. That makes us more vulnerable to the 120 hertz flicker from the lights.
The blue light causes direct reversible bleaching of the retina. With more exposure this becomes irreversible and causes irreparable eye injury which will in time lead to macular degeneration and blindness. For the "average person" with a supposed safety factor of 2 or so this happens in 10,000 seconds of exposure (2 hours 47 minutes. That means that the "average person" in theory will suffer actual irreversible harm within 5.5 to 8.25 hours exposure per day. Since the lights are everywhere including home, AND devices add to the injury, virtually ALL of the population is irreversibly harmed by the lights every day they are exposed.
There are in total about 18 different ways the lights cause serious harms. For 1-10% of us that harm is devastating.
The only solution to that is to use only incandescent type lights. Some fluorescents are almost safe. And for a time there were safe(r) LEDs made by SORAA (their Be Healthy line). Those don't exist anymore. If like me you were lucky and got injured early - you could stock up with a lifetime supply of incandescent lights, and then retreat to home and never travel again.
No that isn't fair. No it isn't good. Yes, ADA should cause ALL of the LED lights to be mandatorily redesigned to actually be safe AND to recall and destroy nearly all of the lights made so far. But we do not live in a fair or just world. It will take a decade more before those changes are forced as they finally see a more than doubling of prostate cancers, and a ~75% rise in breast cancers and intestinal cancers. AND finally figure out that the lights are the cause. Even then, the manufacturers will fight it tooth and nail. They will define them as safe legally , or try too, or ... or ... It will be the new "asbestos" of this age.
All of this was avoidable. No one would listen. That is a hallmark of this age.
By the way, you can get some idea of the stupidity of the "experts" who approved these things and set the standards. The safety basis for the RG standards is an exposure of 1,000,000 (in oddball units of energy). You can rest assured that any safety basis that is set on a super round number like one million is based on vapor. It isn't real. Real standards are NEVER that perfectly round.
As to what else you can do. You can wear true blue blocking glasses. They are deep orange in color. Not all orange glasses block blue. When you where these you become blue color blind. That too is not fair or just. No one should be forced to be color blind to participate in society. But, if like me the flicker destroys you, there is no technological solution other than avoidance.
For me that means that I can spend less than 10 seconds under some types of some manufacturers lights. I can make it longer (up to an hour) with others whose flicker is less intense. But in time the flicker will trigger loud subjective tonal tinnitus rendering me deaf, AND optical migraine often then develops and leaves me temporarily blind for about 30 minutes, followed by several days of headaches and recovery - staying home in the dark and avoiding any glare or LED exposure.
Best wishes on your journey. It is harsh and difficult. And absolutely no one in any position of authority is listening at all. None of them care in the least.
Thats so true mate. It is ridiculous
I don't know how it came to me, I've never had a migraine or diseases that could cause light sensitivity. It's been this way for me for 2 years and I have to always wear glasses for light sensitivity when the sun is bright outside. My eyes can't handle sunlight and I start squinting and crying if I don't have my glasses on. I do not understand what caused this to me and it's frustrating to not know whether this is curable or not..
It is curable
@@Aspirant327 how ?
@@mv1459 where r u from go to eye 7 Delhi all curable or do exercise at home or tell me ur problem
I am 18 and have myopia. Recently I notice when i go in sunlight the muscle below my left eye starts trembling.pls suggest quickly what should i do.
How are you now?
HEADSHOT FF I am completely fine now. This problem automatically goes away from my life.
Is light sensitivity a side effect of nicotine withdrawal.
Ever since I tried to quit smoking 4 days ago I've been really light sensitive
When you start something its hard to get out of it
I haven’t gone out is 8months and I think that’s why when I look at light I see black dots or strings
Same you 😢
Light sensitivity sucks. I have it.
I don’t really turn on my room light cuz it’s so bright
visual snow gave me this
how sensitive are you to light? of you look near a headlight or other source of bright light and then you get like a yellowish green glow afterimage that is a similar shape as the original source of light?
It has nothing to do with skin tone I have brown skin and I am extremely sensitive to light 💡 LED and all the crap phosphorescent. irritates my whole inside body. To me the release of phosphorescent lights causes headaches on sensitive people and those lights were “done” to harm people…
This happens when i wake up
Wish you were not reading off a cue_card and actualy speak your mind(not what your told to say)......im a fair skin redhead.....and i have excellent vision and hearing. Only "gripe" is i have sensitivity to bright lighting. And im 40 years old. I can read a billboard or any road sign b4 any "common" folk can. I can also hear through multi layers very well. Again......im 40 and have seen no decline
The correct answer is Rainbow!
Blue light causes degeneration. Use incandescent or halogen light not LED light. 💡
I hate having cataracts people are so incredibly inconsiderate lights hurt my eyes extremely bad
starts the damn video with a white screen....
I’m not even 25 and my fuckin eye sight to sensitive lights are fucking killing me
People with blue eyes are more sensitive to light
him reading a telepromter does not give me confidence in what he's saying
All bad things cant and dont accept bad Thanks and these are not real
