Understanding the Use of Contact Lenses in Photophobia Associated with mTBI

Photophobia in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can be debilitating, with up to 59% of military personnel reporting sensitivity to light after a TBI event. Contact lenses, sunfilters, and tinted glasses can help manage photophobia symptoms. Mechanisms underlying photophobia involve t
