Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It can be classified into two main types: primary open-angle glaucoma, which develops gradually and is the most common form, and angle-closure glaucoma, which can occur suddenly and requires immediate medical attention. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent significant vision loss.
Symptoms of Glaucoma
- Gradual Loss of Peripheral Vision: A slow narrowing of the visual field, often unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.
- Tunnel Vision: Advanced glaucoma may lead to a reduced field of vision, resembling a tunnel.
- Severe Eye Pain: Sudden, intense pain, particularly in angle-closure glaucoma.
- Blurred Vision: Occasional blurriness or halo around lights, especially in dim lighting.
- Redness and Nausea: In acute cases, such as angle-closure glaucoma, redness of the eye and accompanying symptoms like nausea and vomiting may occur.
