Post-op photophobia refers to an abnormal visual intolerance or painful sensitivity to light occurring as a symptom or complication following ophthalmic surgical interventions, such as cataract extraction, corneal transplantation, or refractive surgery Affecting the ocular and visual sensory pathways, it manifests clinically as ocular discomfort, squinting, excessive tearing, and blepharospasm upon exposure to routine indoor or outdoor lighting Pathophysiologically, it is driven by surgical trau...

Post-op photophobia refers to an abnormal visual intolerance or painful sensitivity to light occurring as a symptom or complication following ophthalmic surgical interventions, such as cataract extraction, corneal transplantation, or refractive surgery

Affecting the ocular and visual sensory pathways, it manifests clinically as ocular discomfort, squinting, excessive tearing, and blepharospasm upon exposure to routine indoor or outdoor lighting

Affecting the ocular and visual sensory pathways, it manifests clinically as ocular discomfort, squinting, excessive tearing, and blepharospasm upon exposure to routine indoor or outdoor lighting

Pathophysiologically, it is driven by surgical trauma and anterior segment inflammation—such as transient anterior uveitis or iritis—as well as epithelial disruption, altered corneal nerve sensitivity, or sudden optical changes that dramatically increase retinal illumination
