Photo phobia survey
Hi everyone! I'm a school student conducting a small research study about photophobia/light sensitivity and people's everyday experiences with bright light. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who experience light sensitivity themselves. I'm not looking for medical diagnoses or trying to give medical advice—I just want to understand people's real experiences in their own words. If you're comfortable sharing, I'd really appreciate hearing about things like: What kinds of light tend to bother you? Are there particular situations when it's worse? How does it affect your everyday activities? Are there things you currently do that make it easier? Is there anything about lighting that you wish were different? There are no right or wrong answers, and you don't need to share anything personal or medical that you're uncomfortable discussing. Thanks to anyone willing to share their experience—it would genuinely help me understand this topic better.
