This is worse outdoors and better in the evening and in the dark. She always wears sunglasses and a cap with a wide brim. She has iritis, which makes focusing very painful and leads to a splitting headache in her forehead, above her eyes.
The pain is a dull, stabbing sensation and becomes unbearable when reading or looking at things. She experiences excessive tearing caused by wind, draughts, nervousness and looking at objects. She feels as though she is blind, as her vision is limited to just half a meter. She needs help getting about, otherwise she would trip over things.
