Photophobia, commonly associated with migraines, can be triggered by various factors such as bright light, flicker, spatial patterns, and colors. Understanding the underlying principles and utilizing methods to reduce discomfort is essential in managing photophobia.
Photophobia (fear of light) occurs in a wide range of ophthalmic, neurological and behavioural conditions, the most common of which is migraine. The visual discomfort associated with migraine can occur not only in response to bright light but also flicker, spatial pattern and colour. The principles that underlie the discomfort are explored and methods to reduce it are proposed.
