I work on eye and light problems as a company in Japan.
Because it is not considered a medical problem, patients who suffer from this problem are isolated in Japan.
I believe that it is difficult for individuals to solve this problem, and that social measures are needed to clarify the cause through medicine and engineering.
To do this, I think that patients all over the world need to unite and appeal to the public about this problem.
This time, the academic society focused on the effects of differences in light characteristics on the eyes, and I was given the opportunity to give a technical lecture in November.
We also exhibit at events where visually impaired people gather.
At these events, I would like to convey that there are patients all over the world, not just in Japan.
< The 62nd Annual Meeting of The Japanease Neuro-Ophthalmology Society >
Symposium 1: "Neuro-ophthalmology and photophobia"
Title : "Differences in the effects of direct and reflected light on the human eye"

If you would like, I would like to introduce this forum at lectures and patient groups.
Please let me know if there are any other forums where patients with photosensitivity gather.
Thank you for your cooperation.
