✓ A Bit About Photophobia ✓
Photophobia is often experienced in tandem with other issues like headaches, fatigue, nausea, and eye discomfort. While it is a common issue, it can be related to a more serious underlying ocular condition which, if left untreated, can cause progress to cause increased sensitivity and visual deterioration.
In addition to being a potential symptom of the aforementioned conditions, light sensitivity is also one of the most common symptoms associated with migraines. It is often associated with blepharospasm as well, which is a neurological condition that impairs the eyelid muscles.
✓ Westchester Eyes Can Help ✓
With this wide range of conditions that may cause photophobia, Westchester Eyes' optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans are an effective diagnostic method. An OCT scan uses light waves to create cross-sectional images of the retina, which is the tissue at the back of the eye that receives light and transmits it as messages to the brain.
Westchester Eyes encourages New York residents struggling with not just photophobia, but also those who have a family history of eye disease or glaucoma or are over 25 and concerned about their eye health, to receive regular OCT scans. Regular OCT scans allow Westchester Eyes' optometrists to detect abnormalities at their earliest appearance.
The practice can use its OCT technology device to detect retinal diseases, glaucoma, early-stage macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions.
