24. I believe there is a correlation between eye color & light sensitivity
I have heterochromatic eyes - they're a mix of green, blue, and light brown. They usually appear to be somewhat light green, but with the right shirt outside they show up as very blue. My son inherited them with a left eye that's greenish-brown in the middle with a bluish rim, and a right eye that's half that color and half medium blue. I've noticed he squints a lot in bright light too, but at 15 months our conversations on the subject are somewhat limited.

I have a tough time in sunlight, and try to wear sunglasses in the day. I cannot stand direct overhead lighting, and gray overcast skies are totally blinding to look at. Bright headlights are tough to deal with too - they can be quite painful. My wife & in-laws all have brown eyes and think I exaggerate when I flinch at the direct floodlight bulbs in my mother-in-law's kitchen. They have no light troubles at all.
