Do people with myopia experience photophobia?

Myopia can cause photophobia. This condition is a manifestation of visual fatigue, primarily resulting from ciliary muscle spasm, which leads to conjunctival hyperemia and edema, thereby weakening the ocular surface’s immune protective barrier. Additionally, some patients have a relatively rough corneal epithelium and experience dryness, making them particularly sensitive to bright light when outdoors. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a hospital for examination and subsequent treatment.
