Patients are blinded by the sun when they're outdoors. Some are so sensitive to light that they're uncomfortable even indoors in a normally lit room. The condition is hard to diagnose because the back of the eyes usually look normal when the doctor checks them. The diagnosis is made by the person's symptoms and an electroretinogram, which must be done at a special clinic. While there is no cure, the symptoms can be managed.
Patients can control glare by wearing wraparound sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat.
