What Causes The Sensitivity To Light In A 2 Year Old?
My 2 1/2 yr old daughter complains its too bright a lot, mostly in the morning. When she was a baby here eyes teared and the doctor mentioned the possibility of probing the tear duct. As she got older, we decided not to do it. Here eyes don t tear anymore. She recently had tubes put in her ears a few months ago. Coincidently, it seems as though this sensitivity/pain to light started after her tubes were put in. Any thoughts? We re getting tire of eating breakfast in the dark! Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
That's a sad situation. She has something similar to photophobia which means increased sensitivity to light. Its obviously not normal but hard to tell its secondary to tube placements. If I were your pediatrician, I would refer your child immediately to an ophthalmologist for a complete evaluation. I hope your child gets well soon. Take care.
