@the.stroke.doc: I explain why bright lights are so painful during migraines and why it's not actually an eye problem. We discuss how the brain's relay station that filters light signals becomes broken during migraines, causing every light signal to be amplified to an already hypersensitive brain. I also reveal why closing your eyes and sitting in a dark room doesn't always help, and share that light sensitivity is a common experience for migraine sufferers, even on non-migraine days. #medtok #migraines #light #headaches #brain

Please do not point lights without warning or if not necessary especially if your target audience gets sick with bright lights 😅

I have astigmatism and something else, every time I go get my eyes checked with the optometrist or an ophthalmologist, I loathe those eye exams with lights. I have migraines and I my eyes cannot stand the lights!

I feel like my head shakes uncontrollable when the lights hit my eyes. My doctors tell me my eyes literally jump around. 😳

Yes it is , for me moving anything close to my eyes. Is very painful sharp pain behind the eyes. Anything reflecting light or color changes makes it my migraine worse and I see black and white.

I wish businesses would stop using the cool Bright overhead lighting. It’s a killer for people with vestibular migraine and PPPD.

I really would like to know where that word comes from – photophobia? Honestly, it’s probably one of the most confusing and offensive words I’ve come across being a legally blind person and also a person with migraines. It is not a fear of light. It is a sensitivity to light. Another words photo sensitive. It really bothers me how this word is even used anymore because it’s a misnomer. Phobias our fears of things it’s a psychiatric word. I have never heard it more than on TikTok being actually the sensitivity of light. It really does bother me that people use it. And this is something I even correct my doctors on. I’m photos sensitive not photophobic. My boyfriend would say the same thing.
