Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Thanks, ! That helps a ton. I have noticed Micah likes to have a towel by the bathtub to wipe his eyes too so I'll make sure to keep one close at the pool.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Hi I think that about 80% of the people I have met say that they are sensitive to light. It is listed as one of the typical symptoms of BPES. I hope that helps Shireen From: blepharophimosis [mailto:blepharophimosis ] On Behalf Of LancasterSent: 04 June 2005 07:38blepharophimosis Subject: Re: blepharophimosis sun & swimming Is sensitivity to the sun common with BPES??

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I've always had sensitivity to sun. I'm 31 with no surgeries. Chlorine also kills me when I swim. Nighttime driving also is difficult. I have found that if I pull my eyes open when i drive the starbursts go away. rob h. Re: blepharophimosis sun & swimming Is sensitivity to the sun common with BPES??

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 My daughter and my husband are very lite sensitive. The pool is not as much of issue for either of them. Our doctor told us that lite sensitivity is very common w/ BPES. Lancaster <kenleyejp@...> wrote: Is sensitivity to the sun common with BPES??
