 Drow have lived in the Underdark (a near lightless habitat) for thousands of years, developing a darkvision like no other, as well as light sensitivity. To me, that means no matter where you grew up, you eyes will always be, at least to some extent, light sensitive. Am I right here, or is there something I've overlooked? (Note: I'm bored and wanted something to do, so I wrote up this.)

-2311 The first documented war between races breaks out and rages for years. The Elves divide into the factions of today; Dark, Wood, High, and Aquatic
That's more or less 2700 years ago, which is even shorter than that the drow of Faerun have been underground (as Ghost said), so not too long ago from either an evolutionary point of view. So, evolutionary, they're not too far away from regular elves. That's why after a time they'll be able to stand the sunlight again.
As for the darkvision and a new feat that would overrule darkvision,Âdwarves also have darkvision, so it's not really uncommon a thing.
