Light Sensitivity in Children Doctors in Malta

Light sensitivity (photophobia) in children can be a symptom of eye conditions such as uveitis, corneal problems, or albinism, or it may indicate a neurological condition such as migraine. An ophthalmologist examines the eyes to identify any structural cause and recommends appropriate treatment or management, which may include anti-inflammatory drops, tinted lenses, or referral to a neurologist or paediatrician. It is important not to dismiss persistent light sensitivity in a child as it can indicate conditions requiring prompt treatment to prevent vision loss.
