Conjunctivitis Symptom #3: Sensitivity to Light
The center part of our eyes, the iris, is able to change its size in order to regulate how much light is allowed to enter the eye. It will open wide in the dark to allow as much light as possible to enter, while it will close tighter when there is a lot of light present.
This system allows us to see in both day and night, without allowing too much light to harm the eye. Staring directly at light can still be uncomfortable, though, especially in people that have conjunctivitis. If you are experiencing sensitivity to light for any reason then you should try to find out what the cause is.
