Our Purpose

LightSensitivity.org was created with one goal: to help people who experience light sensitivity (photophobia) live more comfortably. We are not a medical practice, clinic, or diagnostic service. We consolidate publicly available research, educational resources, and general lifestyle information in one place — so that patients, caregivers, and curious readers can better understand what light sensitivity is, what conditions are associated with it, and what strategies others have found helpful.

We do not tell you what you have. We do not tell you what medication to take. We do not replace your doctor.

Not Medical Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice, a medical diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. The information is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Any content that discusses conditions, symptoms, medications, or treatments is provided strictly for general educational awareness — not as a substitute for individualized professional medical guidance.

Always Consult Your Doctor

If you believe you have a medical condition causing light sensitivity, or if your symptoms are affecting your daily life, please see a qualified healthcare professional — such as a neurologist, ophthalmologist, or your primary care physician. They can examine you, run appropriate tests, make an accurate diagnosis, and create a treatment plan specific to your situation.

Never disregard, delay, or change professional medical advice based on anything you read on this website. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency services (911 in the US) immediately.
