Hello
It seems from the history that your son is having symptoms of dizziness, sensitivity to light and pressure behind the eyes.
Since he gives history of astrocytoma, this can be a cause for these symptoms. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for evaluation and treatment for astrocytoma.

Thank you
