  Yes, it is possible for you to get sensitivity to light from a concussion because of the interlinked nerves at the eyes and head parts. Your headache could also cause your eyes problems. You should have the good rest for the eyes. In addition, you could also wear the sunglasses under the sun which could protect your eyes from the uv rays and other bad lights.
