Hello!
My eyes are sensitive to light. I noticed this long time ago(about 8 years ago when I was a teen).
When I walk under the sun or someone shines a light on my face, my eyes hurt. At times, after prolonged exposure to light (all kinds of light), my eyes start to itch me, it hurts and usually leads to frontal headache(headache around my forehead). So I deprive myself of light without using my phone, light bulb and so on then relives me after some days).
Three years ago, I went to a new eye clinic and it was diagnosed as "photophobia". I was told I'm going to get AR(anti reflective lenses). I didn't get it as I was still in school and didn't have money then.
Recently, I started learning computer programming and I've been using my laptop and phone for about 14 hours per day and the eye hurts and headache have been disturbing a lot.
Now, I want to know if I can go ahead and get the the AR lens without medical prescription or I go to an eye clinic again.

NB: I went to a boarding school and my family isn't financially buoyant so I result to Garri(cassava flakes) most times without milk. Now that I've finished with Uni, I still drink Garri a lot but I haven't for almost a week now...

Please, I need medical opinions ( to go to eye clinic or get the AR lens myself?)

I will be expecting your positive responses

I know this is an old post and am currently going through this. please hw did you finally overcome this

I have 4 recommended glasses so far, but none seems to help. i was diagnosed with astigmatism, but the recent hospital I went to says nothing seems to be wrong with my eyes, I can't stand bright lights, or look at my phone screen or my laptop.

I am always in the dark. i did my research and found out it was photophobia or sensitivity to light. Anything light, makes me feel like my brain is about to explode. i have a career to pursue as it is limiting me.

i have bought several anti blue glasses or photochromic glasses.

Any suggestions would be useful

srrrr:
I overused my phone and computer 2 months ago, so I developed eye stain. This has happened to me b4 like 4 times, but it wore off after 1 to 2 weeks of not operating my phone.
This one is worse. I can't look at my phone or laptop for more than 5 minutes without feeling pains at the back of my eyes.
I've gone to 2 eye clinics. The first one gave me a glass that magnifies text a little, didn't work. The other gave me a photochromic glass, didn't work.
I've tried blinking multiple times, worked a little. 20/20/20 is not possible, because I can't even look at my screen continuously for up to 3 minutes not to talk about 20 minutes. Eye exercise didn't work either. I stopped looking at screen for one week, then 3 weeks, didn't work.
Twilight app helped reduced my previous eye strain, but not this one.
I don't know if reading glasses or computer glasses will work. Some people told me to stop looking at screen for the next 3 months so my eyes can heal, but I'm a programmer so that's not an option. I don't have any other eye issue apart from this one. No photophobia or myopia.
Pls any advice is welcome.

I am currently going through this. i know its an old post but let me know if you eventually found any solution

Rastafryrice:

I really want to start a career as In either business analysis or Human Resource. I read maths and most of the job available for me are teaching jobs. I am currently at home, though I have some side hustles and I feel now is the time to make a career transition but I don’t know how.
