Finding the best sunglasses tint for light sensitivity relief is important if you’re experiencing irritation from bright lights, screens, or indoor lighting. This common condition (known as photophobia) can be disruptive, but is manageable. At Mountain View Optometry, we provide clinically proven options to help ease your symptoms and improve discomfort.
What is Light Sensitivity (Photophobia)?

Photophobia is a condition where your eyes become overly sensitive to light, often resulting in headaches, squinting, eye strain, or even nausea. Common causes include:
- Migraines or tension headaches
- Post-concussion syndrome
- Eye strain from screens
- LASIK or cataract surgery
- Chronic dry eye
Our team at Mountain View Optometry diagnoses the root causes of light sensitivity and recommends tailored eyewear solutions to provide lasting comfort.
