Pink eye light sensitivity
I've had pink eye for over a week now and 3 days ago I got a stronger eye drop (Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution 0.3% as base) which has caused the redness and discharge to go away. However, my eyes are now extremely sensitive to light, especially outside. I can basely keep my eyes open and oftentimes the light causes headaches. How long will this last and is there something that I can do to help it?

For diagnosis &for accurate prescription you should share photos if your eyes till you may use genteal & Tobrex eye drops 4-5 times ,I am not able to guess diagnosis from your short history.

Hello
This could be either due to dryness or keratitis ( involvement of cornea by virus)
You may start lubricating eyedrop frequently like refresh tears along with goggles in sunlight
Consult local ophthalmologist and if keratitis is present then your doctor may start soft steroid also along with antibiotic
I hope this will help you
