    It sounds like you get photophobia. When the eye pigments in your eyes are unable to absorb all of the light in the environment, your eyes become sensitive to light. Photophobia may be caused by some medical problems. For example, migraine headache can cause eye pain which make your eyes sensitive to light. If you have a severe headache or fever, you should go to see an eye doctor immediately.
