I kind of know what you mean. Life is about adaptation, after all. Either you accept it, or you out!

When my doc said I had photophobia, he told me to stay at home as much as possible, because ray lights would damage my eye-sight and blah, blah, blah. He wanted me to lock myself in my house, WTF!? I never liked to wear sunglasses, but now I'm quite comfortable with them and at least, I get to go outside without major problems!
