I recently read an article on the International Brain Injury Association’s website by Neera Kapoor, OD, MS entitled, Photosensitivity Following Traumatic Brain Injury. The article discusses sensory disorders, including anomalies of vision, audition and olfaction, commonly associated with those who have sustained a traumatic brain injury.

Kapoor states that roughly 20-40% of brain injury survivors suffer from some form of photosensitivity. Photosensitivity, also reported as photophobia, is a common symptom in those with traumatic brain injury, usually occurring in the absence of ocular inflammation or disease. 

Treatment options remain non-standardized, however, there are possible treatments being studied which one day may provide a solution to this devastating side effect of TBI.
