While on my travels throughout the VC, one question always comes up on vampire forums.

How many people have light sensitivity problems? This can mean sensitivity to the sun, or it could mean any type of direct light.
Do you think light sensitivity has anything to do with vampirism or do you think sometimes people try and link it to vampirism, because of the myths of sunlight and the mythical vampire?

Thoughts? Are you sensitive to light? Even though, it's not really genetic, when I say genetic, I'm referring to being fair/light skinned or some other genetic reason.

I have the same problem as well. The light bothers my eyes so I don't like to go out too much. Tends to burn a little and I shy away from it. I have had my eyes check and what not and they say my eyes are fine. Meds are not the issue either, but I could never figure out why.

I have some sensitivity to light, though problems arise mainly when I'm low-energy and off balance. In that way, I think it does tie in with vampirism.

Very light sensitive. Natural.

I have to wear dark sunshades in the sun. I wear a prescription but have them tented very dark.

I have nighttime driving glasses too.... they are with a slight tent [enough to see in the dark but keeps the lights from other cars and street lamps from hurting my eyes].

In the house, I rarely turn on lights - if I do, it's  a lamp with the lowest watts I can get too see clearly... usually about 15 to 25 amps.

My eyes are very sensitive to both sunlight and the light from vehicles at night.
Years ago I was told that I had astigmatisms in both eyes and this would cause sensitivity to bright light. So I don't consider it to be related to vampirism.
Also, being fair skinned I have issues with the sun. I love the warmth but at the same time I tend to burn. So between both problems I just stay in the shade.
