light sensitivity and migraines and glasses
 
I have extreme light senstitvity in my left eye with left side migraine pain.

I've noticed that there are special glasses out there that claim to address this issue.

Have you had your vision assessed by a neuro-opthamologist? This is necessary after brain injury /concussion. A large percentage (50%?) have visual problems. Check out the postings on this or other sites.
Good luck!

I had my eyes checked by a "standard" optician / optometrist a month after my injury. Although I sat their with my eyes streaming because of the lights in her office, she could find little wrong.

A year later I went to a specialist and she could see within a few minutes what was wrong. I now have my first ever pair of glasses with special lenses to help focus my eyes to a set point in front of me. There is a period of vision therapy to follow.

I would recommend all people with head injuries to have an in-depth eye exam. Even if they find nothing wrong at least it is one less worry to have.
