What Causes Severe Light Sensitivity In Eyes?

Hello, I am having severe light sensitivity that started last night. Both eyes are affected but my right eye is worse. I am wearing sunglasses in the house to get by. Earlier I could not use the computer but it seems to be getting a little better now.

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having light sensitivity in eyes. The causes for light sensitivity are problems in the cornea like corneal epithelial defect or inflammations of the eye like keratitis, uveitis.
This requires examination by a ophthalmologist to findout the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
