I have very bright blue eyes and they are extremely sensitive to the Sun and light......

The sun is so bright now that people who couldnt tan to save their life 20 years ago now tan quite well. I remember 20 years ago blonde and redheads Scandinavian and Irish couldn't tan at all. Now even they tan quite well. Though now you need a much darker tan to avoid sunburn than you did 20 years ago.

hmmm...I have very bright light blue eyes like you two. However I don't have any problems with sensitivity to light.... then again I have brown hair. My skin is somewhat light but not real light. I'm able to tan. Maybe it's just the blondes with really pale skin that have really light blue eyes that have sensitivity to light problems. Maybe that's why I don't suffer that despite having very bright blue eyes like you two.

You could have pigmentary glaucoma, OP

I have eyes like yours op and have the same problem, however for fun I like to dip my face in freezing cold water with my eyes open then look at someone to freak them out, you should try it sometime as mine turn a peircing turqouis.

Blue eyes, super sensitive to the sun now, and INCLUDE IRITIS. Look it up, got all your sore eyes beat.

I have extremely bright piercing clear ice blue (pretty much transparent) eyes.

My sisters do too.
So do my kids.
My husband's eyes are almost as blue.

I also have extremely long natural platinum blonde (almost white) hair, that is very shiny silky, fine and thick(in the amount not texture of course).

My skin is extremely fair and impossible to tan.
I wouldn't tan even if I could.
Tan skin would look weird with me having such blonde hair and blue eyes.

My sisters have the same features I do.

Yes my eyes are very sensitive to light. Same with my sisters and my husband and kids.

We don't wear sunglasses as we believe they do more harm than good.

We don't wear sunscreen.
That stuff is toxic and causes cancer.

Bright sunny summer days and even fall and spring days can be rough for us, particularly if hiking or driving in unshaded areas.

We just take breaks if the sun is getting to be too much for our eyes and try to avoid hiking, being out in, and driving in unshaded areas as much during the brightest part of the day.

We do see very well on the dark.
People always comment on how well we see in the dark .

We do have to be very careful in the sun too as we burn very easily. Even our sweat burns are doing that's how fair and sensitive our skin is.

We do get lots of compliments on our hair and eyes.

People always tell me I have the bluest, brightest, lightest, most beautiful eyes they've ever seen.

My sisters get similar compliments.


People constantly compliment me on my hair too.

They tell me I have the longest blondest, shiniest, silkiest, healthiest, most beautiful hair they ever seen.

Many people nickname me Rapunzel because my hair is so long.
Some nickname me Platinum Rapunzel since my hair is naturally platinum blondes.
Plattylocks is another nickname I get too.

My sisters get those compliments and nicknames too as they also have extremely long hair.
Some nickname us the Rapunzel Sisters, or the Platinum Rapunzel Sisters.

Me and my sisters are and have always been very close.

We're like a team.

Of course me and my husband are a team too.

My family and my husband's family are very close with each other too.

And we are very proud of being white and very proud of our very beautiful very Nordic heritage and genes.

Some days my eyes get so bright, people ask me if I'm wearing fake contacts. My eyes are very sensitive to light. I think that is one of the reasons I prefer grey, darker days. At times they become deep blue, but it all depends on my mood or weather. It's actually quite weird. Anyways, why would my eyes be so sensitive in Sun light? I know other people who have green, brown, hazel, and even blue who do not have this problem. I have never met anyone with the type of blue eyes I have, however. They get extremelely bright and piercing. I have done some searches on it, but never really came up with a logical explanation. If I shut my eyes, I can alomost see everything around me and when it is dark, I can still see (not 100%), even without my contacts. I'm somewhat baffled by this.

My eyes are green. They get very light green to almost pale green, sometimes they are dark green. I too, am sensitive to light. I wear my sunglasses until evening. =)

I also have bright blue eyes, and feel your pain. I don't think my case is quite as extreme as what you're describing though. However, I do insist on wearing sunglasses anytime that I go outside. Sometimes if I'm sitting by a window, I'm even tempted to wear them inside.

There's a scientific explanation to it. Before people migrated to places other than their native land, everyone in one location had similar features. People with bright blue eyes typically lived in very cold places like Switzerland for instance where the sun would rarely shine. These people also had very light skin because they didn't need much melanin to protect them from suburn.

People in places like Africa typically had darker eyes and skin to protect them from the sun. Their darker sin caused them to absorb the sun rather than burn.

I have lasers shooting from my eyes. I have to ware sunglasses so I don't blind other people.
