Have you had an exam by an opthamologist? An eye doctor with an MD (not an opthomologist). Also, are your sunglasses prescription? I found that no regular sun glasses worked to make it bearable to go outside. It wasn't until I got prescription sunglasses that I could function outside. They were expensive, but definately worth the investment.

Very good advice, davesprettylady!

There are also specialists, neuro-ophthalmologists, who can check you out for things like vestibular migraine while also making sure your eyes are OK.

Some nerve pain can cause severe pain behind/around the eyes as well, along with light sensitivity for some. It is worth asking about as you meet with your doctors.
