What Causes Extreme Sensitivity To Light After Recovering From Pneumonia?
I have just gotten over a bout of pneumonia and am still recovering. I have noticed that my eyes are extremely sensitive to light, fluorescent or sunlight even with sunglasses on. They tear up, and I get a headache. This never used to happen and I am trying to figure out what is going on. I was on antibiotics, then steroids to knock out the pneumonia, they are over now. Any relation?? Thanks, Sandy
