Photophobia is a symptom of being sensitive to light where bright lights can cause discomfort or pain. It is not actually a fear of light but a symptom of another underlying condition. Common causes of photophobia include migraines and other headache disorders. There is no cure for photophobia itself as it is a symptom, but treatments aim to address the underlying medical condition causing the light sensitivity.
