Title: Diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of photophobia
Author: Kathleen B. Digre, MD; Bradley Katz, MD
Date: 07/2016
Keywords/Main Subjects: FL-41; blepharospasm; dry eye; intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells; light sensitivity; migraine; photooculodynia; photophobia; thin-films; traumatic brain injury
Diagnosis: Photophobia
Brief Description: Photophobia, an abnormal intolerance to light, is associated with a number of ophthalmic and neurologic conditions. In the presence of normal neurologic and ophthalmologic examinations, the most common conditions associated with photophobia are migraine, blepharospasm, and traumatic brain injury. Recent evidence indicates that the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells play a key role in the pathophysiology of photophobia. Although pharmacologic manipulation of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and the neural pathways that mediate photophobia may be possible in the future, current therapies are directed at the underlying cause of the photophobia and optical modulation of these cells and pathways.

Diagnosis: Photophobia
Brief Description: Photophobia is a common yet debilitating symptom seen in many ophthalmic and neurologic disorders. Despite its prevalence, it is poorly understood and difficult to treat. However, the past few years have seen significant advances in our understanding of this symptom. We review the clinical characteristics and disorders associated with photophobia, discuss the anatomy and physiology of this phenomenon, and conclude with a practical approach to diagnosis and treatment.
