		Photophobia is a condition where the eye is unusually sensitive to light, and is often a symptom of associated disorders or disease (e.g., corneal inflammation, aphakia, iritis, or ocular albinism).
		Photophobia is usually caused by the iris being unable to reduce enough of the light entering the eye.
		Photophobia can be caused by some drugs which cause the pupil to dilate, for example amphetamines and antihistamines, cannabis and cocaine, atropine, scopolamine, mydriotics and cycloplegics* and strychnine).

		Photophobia and eyestrain are shown to have been transitory in nature and resolved completely without chronic residuals.

		Sensitivity to light was investigated 5 and 8 h after consumption of an amino acid drink which contained L-tryptophan (balanced amino acid condition: 19 controls and 22 migraine sufferers) or which produced a short-term reduction in brain serotonin synthesis by omittingl-tryptophan (tryptophan depletion condition: 16 controls and 16 migraine sufferers).
		These findings suggest that a reduction in brain synthesis of serotonin intensifies photophobia and other migrainous symptoms and thus might contribute to the pathogenesis of migraine.
