Abstract

Visible light sensitivity can have a severe adverse impact on quality of life leading to withdrawal from social activity during daylight hours. Treatment options are limited and expensive. Commercially available sunscreens that provide visible light protection is of immediate practical importance, particularly for patients with Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) and Solar Urticaria as they experience intense symptoms of pain, burning, itch and urticarial rash or phototoxic erythema within seconds to minutes of even minor VL exposure.
