Consumer Review: I Think St. John's Wort Has Something To Do With The Terrible Light Sensitivity I'm Experiencing After My Cataract Surgery.
I am having a terrible time with light sensitivity with my second cataract surgery. I didn't with my first one. Since then, I have taken St John's Wort for one year or more. I think it is partly responsible for my sensitivity. When you discontinue taking the supplement will the light sensitivity caused by the supplement end or is it permanent?
Thank you,

I commenced taking St. John's Wort over a year ago. A few months ago, I started to get a very itchy rash on my face and neck. My doctor put me onto strong cortisone creams, which helped when I was taking them, but the rash reappeared as soon as I stopped. Eventually a specialist advised me that there had been some cases of sun sensitivity in persons taking SJW. I have ceased taking the tablets and the rash has improved, but I am not able to go into the sunlight and have to wear sun block daily.
