Any human, or human-like monster, that's used to living in dark conditions will find it physically painful to adjust to the bright light of day — a process that may take weeks. This is usually not a warning of his character, even if Light Is Good. May produce Blinded by the Light in quite normal lighting when other characters are just fine, but it can also allow good sight that is merely painful. A mundane equivalent to Weakened by the Light. Sunglasses may help during the transition. Often indicated by a character's holding up his hands to shield his eyes. The trope namer is the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato's allegory of the cave, which is about people chained underground in a deep cave, so deep that no sunlight reaches them. At the mid-part of the cave, a shadow-play is created by moving shaped cutouts in front of the firelight on the wall of the cave. The chained prisoners' only visual input is the dim shadow play on the wall. If the prisoners, used to the dark cave, were to be suddenly freed, if they left the dark cave, the light of the sun (an allegory for reality) would blind them. Truth in Television as anyone whose eyes have been dilated after staying a time in a dark place can testify. Compare First Time in the Sun. Overlap is frequent, and this trope is frequently strongest then, but for this trope, it does not have to be the first time, and the sun doesn't have to inspire hope. Note that any situation where the eyes can not adjust (back) to daylight is Weakened by the Light. Examples |

Defied in one episode of Have Gun – Will Travel. Paladin is captured by the Big Bad who intends to sadistically execute him by making Paladin be the bull in a traditional Spanish Bull Fight. To this end, they lock Paladin in a dark dungeon so that when he gets shoved into the sunlight, the temporary blindness will give the Big Bad an unfair advantage and let him kill Paladin easily. The Big Bad's wife however, defies her husband and puts a candle in the cell with Paladin so that his eyes stay adjusted to light. When the Big Bad's men come for him in the morning, Paladin blows out the candle. The men throw him into the yard, and becuase Paladin can unknowingly still see, he manages to overpower the Big Bad and kill him. | |

Once Link, who had been asleep in the Shrine of Resurrection for a hundred years, is able to open the door separating the Shrine from the Great Plateau, a brief cutscene plays where he steps into the light spilling from outside and squints while raising his hand in front of his face. | |

Relg (and most of the Ulgos) have trouble with this during The Belgariad, with a side order of agoraphobia as well. Some of the Ulgos are at least used to nights on the surface, as their work involves "hunting wild game and harvesting wild plants" (their leader suspects they've long since taken up farming and herding in the safest mountain valleys). | |

In the novel Metro 2033, the young Artyom and his friends went to a neighboring uninhabited station and opened a hatch to sneak a brief peek at the sky. It is mentioned that they were lucky that it was night at the time as their eyes were used to only dim, red emergency lights and firelight so daylight would have blinded them. Stalkers, whose job it is to brave the surface in search of supplies, wear tinted goggles. | |

Dennis the Menace (1986): "Journey to the Center of Uncle Charlie's Farm" features Fred, a young boy who lives in a subterranean civilization near the well of Uncle Charlie's farm and only visits the surface world at night. He is able to speak English due to watching late night television, allowing him to communicate with Dennis and Joey. Near the end of the episode, the three are brought to the surface world after dislodging some boulders holding the water back. Fred puts on some sunglasses to protect his eyes, as he's not used to sunlight due to spending most of his time underground. When Joey tells him to come back and visit him and Dennis so they can go to the zoo or the amusement park together, Fred tells them he'd rather do those things at night, and asks him and Dennis how they can stand the sun. | |

In Robin (1993), a group of mercenaries use flash grenades to get the upper hand on a gang hiding in a dark abandoned building they were hired to kill in order to hide a company's dirty laundry. The flash also incapacitates Robin for a moment and he realizes they're using special lenses to allow them to be unaffected. He later starts using this same trick himself. | |

Neverwinter Nights 2 (based on Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e) gives Drow and Gray Dwarves Light Sensitivity - a penalty to rolls when in broad daylight. Both are Underdark-dwelling races. Averted in the case of Deep Gnomes, which do not suffer the same penalty despite being native to the Underdark. (Oddly enough, Gray Orcs receive a similar (but lesser) penalty despite living on the surface.) | |

Exalted: The Darkbroods, universally-loathed gods who were driven underground, cannot stand the light of Creation's sun due to having been judged Creatures of Darkness and spending all their lives Beneath the Earth. The Dune People, a cannibalistic, xenophobic human subspecies, are exclusively nocturnal due to being albinos and thus being very prone to suburbs and light-blindness. If the Infernal Exalted want to learn the more powerful Ebon Dragon charms, they can't avoid this trope because one of the Dragon's foundational charms gives them this weakness. They are only hurt by Creation's Sun though; any other suns are fine. |

In the Newsflesh universe, people who have a reservoir condition known to most as "retinal Kellis-Amberlee", such as Georgia or Emily, cannot tolerate normal lighting, since their irises will not contract in response. Too much light can damage their eyes severely enough to impair vision. Emily mentions reduced vision sensitivity (she was an early case, and suffered damage before doctors figured out her condition), while Georgia comments on having small blind spots caused by retinal damage. Both spend most of their lives behind sunglasses or in low-light rooms. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Sunlight Sensitivity is a racial trait shared by many evil humanoids in early editions- depending on the edition it ranges from being outright blinded for a short time or taking a penalty to attacks. As the game went on, this trait was formalized into mostly subterranean races like dark elves, kobolds, Kuo-Toa, and grey dwarves. Orcs also have it, despite not being portrayed as living underground or being nocturnal. Half-orcs and half-elves of dark elf heritage lack this trait, however. | |

The dwarves of Dwarf Fortress will get unhappy thoughts about being "irritated by the sun" if they've been underground too long. If they've been underground even longer, they'll get unhappy thoughts about being "nauseated by the sun" and puke all over the entrance to your fortress. Which may become a problem when you spend years training a military squad in your underground barracks, and when your legendary overpowered steel-clad warriors finally get to the surface to battle a goblin siege they are blinded by the brightness and collapse to the ground, vomiting violently and unable to fight. It's important to either move all your activity underground or make your dwarves spend at least part of their time above the surface, to prevent complete cave adaptation. Like everything in Dwarf Fortress, this can quickly become a problem as well. Or just build enough of a roof to allow battles to take place shaded from the sun. |

In Fallout 3, your character, who has lived in an underground Vault their entire life, seems to be affected by this for a few seconds upon entering the wasteland. Afterward, they recover, adjust and see in daylight with no ill effects. The same effect happens in Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4 when the Courier leaves Doc Mitchel's house after being nursed to health and Sole Survivor exits Vault 111 respectively. Fallout 2 opened with an instructional film explicitly (and humorously) highlighting the need for protective eyewear; and the Vault door opened rather sensibly at night time. | |

At the beginning of Disco Elysium, if you choose to turn on the light in your room, the narration states how painful this is ("you can practically feel the photons burning a hole in your brain") and advises you to turn off the lights immediately. If you choose not to, you take a point of health damage, and if you allocated your stats in such a way that you started as a One-Hit-Point Wonder, you immediately die of a heart attack. | |

Mythbusters tested this to see if smugglers can drive on a dark road at night without using any light and relying only on their eyes acclimated to the darkness. They discovered it was barely possible, but if any light passed by them, such as a car with its headlights on, they would immediately run off the road or crash if they couldn't stop in time. On a similar note during the Pirate Special they tested the myth that pirates kept one eye patched on purpose to keep it adjusted to darkness, not because it hid an unsightly wound. Adam and Jamie perform much better navigating an obstacle course meant to simulate the darker conditions below decks using an eye pre-adjusted to darkness when compared to an eye that was coming in from daylight. The myth was declared plausible because even though it worked they could not find any documentation that any real pirate tried this. |

Eventually, the sun manages to go down, and in celebration they decide to keep the cockpit lights off ("like a fighter jet!") for a few minutes, until Carolyn enters and wonders why they're sitting in the dark, and promptly turns the lights on, much to Martin and Douglas's distress. | |

In the Rivers of London novels, members of the underground community Peter discovers in the third novel have to wear dark wraparound sunglasses even in dimly-lit indoor environments, never mind broad daylight. | |

This is probably why Mega Man 4's Pharaoh Man is affected by the Flash Stopper. As he's supposed to emulate long-dead Pharaohs and explore dark pyramids, it could be similarly deduced that he's designed for dark environments and freezes when exposed to bright flashes. | |

The vampires in The Breed (2001) were this way. They wore sunglasses during the day and in their world, it was the eye sensitivity that gave way to the idea of vampires being allergic to sunlight. | |

The D'ni people in the Myst games have very light-sensitive eyes, due to living underground for a long time. It's why Atrus is shown wearing sun-filtering goggles at the end of Riven. | |

In the Game Shakers episode "The Mason Experience", Babe enjoys Virtual Mason Kendall so much she doesn't even take the VR goggles off for almost half the day, and when Kenzie removes them so another girl can have a try, she is blinded by the light. Of course, she puts the goggles back on right after she recovers. | |

In the very first issue of ElfQuest, the Wolfriders spend some time traveling through the troll caverns before emerging into daylight once more. In the desert. Doesn't help that they're nocturnal either. | |

Star Trek: Nemesis: When Shinzon invites the Enterprise crew over to his impossibly beweaponed spaceship, they arrive in a dark room. He apologizes, explaining that having grown up working in a mine, his eyes are pretty sensitive to light. He gradually raises them, revealing he looks like a younger Picard. | |
