Light Sensitivity (Photophobia)
If a person is suddenly more sensitive to light than usual, they may have Lyme disease called arthritic or neuropathic Lyme. The simplest way to treat photophobia is with sunglasses and eye drops that contain hydroxychloroquine. If this doesn’t help, a doctor can prescribe other medications that can help control the pain and decrease inflammation. If an individual has been diagnosed with Lyme disease and experiences photophobia, they should speak with a doctor about how best to treat both.
