Summary
This paper discusses photophobia, or excessive sensitivity to light, in patients with migraines and ophthalmic pathologies, and the role of photosensitive intrinsic retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in detecting light and projecting the light signal.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of photosensitive intrinsic retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the eye and their role in photophobia, a condition of excessive sensitivity to light.
Pain management: The paper discusses photophobia in the context of migraines, a condition often associated with severe pain.
Psychiatric Disorders: The paper mentions the association of photophobia with certain psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety.
