Javier Milei publicly revealed that he suffers from photophobia, an excessive sensitivity to bright light. Photophobia can cause pain or discomfort in the eyes when exposed to intense light sources, such as sunlight or strong artificial lights. It can be a symptom of various medical conditions, such as migraines, eye infections, neurological disorders, and even problems with the retina or optic nerve. Additionally, it may also be associated with dry eye syndrome or certain medications.
During an interview with Luis Majul, Javier Milei mentioned his condition of photophobia and expressed the difficulty he faces in spaces with intense lights, requesting to lower their intensity during interviews or discussions. Milei emphasized that photophobia is not a disease in itself but a symptom of an underlying condition, and he recommended seeking medical attention if experienced persistently.
It is common to observe that during his appearances on television interviews or public talks, Javier Milei prefers to be in environments with low lighting due to his sensitivity to bright light.
