Hello,
Light sensitivity also can be a symptom of underlying diseases that don't directly affect the eyes, such as virus-caused illnesses or severe headaches or migraine. Other common causes of photophobia include corneal abrasion, uveitis and a central nervous system disorder such as meningitis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
