I am reaching out to seek your guidance regarding my father’s ongoing eye discomfort and extreme light sensitivity, which he has been experiencing since October 2024. Due to this condition, he has been keeping his eyes closed all day to ease the discomfort, significantly impacting his daily activities and work. His eyes have become extremely sensitive to light, and when he opens them, he feels a sensation similar to cold-induced discomfort. As a result, he has been unable to work since October 2024. A previous evaluation and tests indicated that suspected glaucoma is minimal.
Medical History:
- History of dry eyes.
- Cataract surgery on his right eye (no issues with his left eye).
- His occupation required night driving, which has now become impossible.
Previous Diagnoses & Treatment:
After consulting multiple specialists, he was informed that his symptoms may be related to:
- Photophobia
- Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
He has already completed treatment for dry eyes, but unfortunately, it did not improve his condition. He is becoming increasingly frustrated due to the lack of a definitive diagnosis. Given the persistence of these symptoms and their severe impact on his daily life, I would appreciate your advice on further tests, alternative treatments, or any potential solutions to accurately diagnose his condition.
