  When speaking of photophobia, some people may misunderstand photophobia as a morbid fear or phobia. In fact, this ocular problem is just an experience of uncomfortable light exposure. People with photophobia need to squint or close their eyes when they encounter bright lights. In a serious case, headache can be caused.
