What condition might a patient exhibit along with sensitivity to light?

Sensitivity to light is medically referred to as photophobia. This condition can occur for a variety of reasons, including eye infections, inflammation, and other ocular disorders. Photophobia can manifest as discomfort or pain in response to bright lights and may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as headaches or eye watering.

While conjunctivitis, glaucoma, and macular degeneration may also affect a patient's vision and comfort, they do not specifically describe the experience of light sensitivity as well as photophobia does. For instance, conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the eye that can cause discomfort, but it is not exclusively defined by light sensitivity. Glaucoma is characterized by increased intraocular pressure and vision loss, and while patients might experience discomfort, it's not primarily defined by light sensitivity. Macular degeneration affects central vision and can cause other visual disturbances, but again, it does not specifically describe sensitivity to light as its central symptom. Therefore, photophobia is the most accurate description for a condition characterized by sensitivity to light.
