  Well, according to your description, I can say that you may have got the photophobia. As we know that photophobia is eye discomfort in bright light and your situation is just like it. So you should pay more attention to this kind of disease. While we can also say that Photophobia is a fairly common symptom. For many people, photophobia is not due to any disease. Severe photophobia may occur with eye problems and can cause severe eye pain even in relatively low light. There are many causes which can make you get the photophobia, such as burns to the eyes or corneal abrasion and even some medicines can also lead to it. Anyway, if you have got this kind of eye disease, you'd better go and see an eye doctor as soon as possible. I think he can give you the good advice.

  Your symptom of being sensitive to sunlight and feeling difficult to open your eyes makes you more possible to get the photophobia. Have you been bitten by a dog these years? You'd better go to see the doctor and have a check. The photophobia should be treated as soon as possible. Or else, it may affect your daily life.
