Son is 2 yrs old and his eyes are very sensitive to outside light?

Question

I noticed that he has large pupils compared to mine and my wifes. I remember taking him to a doctor several months ago and he put some drops so his pupils would dilate and I believe since then he has gotten this light sensitivty problem. He squints his eyes when we takehim outside, its like he wants to keep them open but he cant. I have gotten him eye glasses and its been 4 days since he got them but still he squints his eyes. i dont know what to do..these freakin doctors are waste of time..what to do guys

Answer 1

I just got my pupils dilated at the doctors, and the light sensitivity is normal- for three hours or so. It shouldn't be doing that for such a long time. I suggest you take him to a different doctor, or maybe even the same one and tell him that the sensitivity hasn't worn off yet.

Answer 2

I suggest taking him to an eye doctor and tell them your concerns. My daughter's eyes are sensitive to the sun, but she is blue eyed, and both my husband's eyes and mine are super light sensitive also.
