Medical Term: Photophobia

by Steve on November 21, 2008

Can you guess what this term means? I’ll give you a second…

If you guessed fear of your picture being taken, you’re wrong. Photophobia is an intolerance to light. You’ve probably experienced this if you’ve had someone shine a light on your face while you’re sleeping. However, medically it’s used to describe a symptom that people with migraine headaches often have.
