Although the infection is probably related to the light sensitivity, the cause of the sensitivity is not treated with the drops. The sensitivity comes from the muscle in the iris of the eye, the iris is sore and when the light hits the eye the iris closes causing pain. This is treated by dilating the eye with dilating drops. Steroids may be indicated. You should see your doctor ASAP. Until then, wear sunglasses.

Wear sunglasses and avoid bright lights for a while.
