That light is bothering my eyes

Question

If the light is turned on, and a person is trying to sleep,he asks the other person to turn off the light.
Will it be natural to use:

That light is bothering my eyes.

Is there a more natural way to describe this?

And a light that is very bright, is flashed into someone's eyes or flashes into someone's eyes, what will be a natural way to describe it:

This light is so bright that it is bothering my eyes.

I couldn't think of a natural way to describe this. So in any of such sentences, how is it described by the natives?

Answer 1

I agree with Ced but I would not think it strange if someone said, "That light is bothering my eyes."

Answer 2

I would rather say

That light is bothering me.

This light annoys me.

You don't need to say "bothering my eyes" as the person who is bothered by the light is you and not your eyes.

Answer 3

Typically, you might just say:

Can you turn the light off? I am trying to sleep!

It is pretty obvious what the connection is. It doesn't need to be explicitly stated.
