Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information, there are other causes that can lead to this problem such as:

  • Migraine headaches
  • Dry eyes
  • Uveitis
  • Meningitis
  • Keratitis
  • Iritis

Migraine headaches are the most common cause of headache due light sensitivity. To diagnose which type of migraine you have, a doctor need to do a series of test and questions to identify the type of migraine you have. As ocular migraine is a rare condition, it is very unlikely to occur but it is safer to get checked.
