…all my troubles seemed to blur away.
A migraine ended up my day…
…I don’t remember anyway…
…amnesia — the price I pay.
Now, there is proof to my “theory” that certain lights cause migraines. If you want to know what it’s like to live with my eyes, go outside after you’ve had your eyes dilated at the optometrists office. I dare you to walk around without the sunglasses they give you.

It’s estimated that 80-90% of people who suffer from migraines also experience painful sensitivity to light—a symptom known as photophobia. In fact, a survey of more than 4,000 individuals who experience migraines showed that 89% became sensitive to light during an attack. Migraine light sensitivity can produce a wide-range of symptoms that go well-beyond head pain and can linger for hours or even days after the episode.

The Type of Light Matters
While any source of light can cause photophobia, flickering lights are one of the most-likely ways to bring about a migraine—or worsen the pain in those suffering from photophobia—due to the high-contrast and visible pulsing of the light source. Bright light and the wavelength (or color) of light can also play a role. Blue-green light, for instance, causes photophobia more than other colors.
