What are the symptoms of glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders that cause damage to the optic nerve, usually due to increasing pressure within the eye. It is one of the main causes of permanent blindness in the world. Depending on the kind and stage of the disease, glaucoma symptoms might vary, but many cases progress gradually over time and may not be noticeable at first. However, symptoms could become more apparent as the illness worsens.

  1. What are the symptoms of glaucoma?

  2. Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders that cause damage to the optic nerve, usually due to increasing pressure within the eye. It is one of the main causes of permanent blindness in the world. Depending on the kind and stage of the disease, glaucoma symptoms might vary, but many cases progress gradually over time and may not be noticeable at first. However, symptoms could become more apparent as the illness worsens. Typical signs of glaucoma consist of: Progressive loss of peripheral vision: Also known as "tunnel vision," this is a classic sign of glaucoma. Usually developing gradually, peripheral vision loss may go undetected until it is well advanced.

  3. Vision blur:It might become difficult to view items clearly when vision becomes blurry. Halos around lights: Especially at night, some glaucoma sufferers may notice halos or glare around lights. Eye pain or discomfort: When the intraocular pressure is noticeably raised, glaucoma may occasionally result in headaches, eye pain, or discomfort.

  4. Vomiting or nausea: Severe eye discomfort, nausea, and vomiting are some of the symptoms that acute angle-closure glaucoma can cause. Redness in the eye: During acute periods of elevated intraocular pressure, the eye may seem bloodshot or red. The fact that early-stage glaucoma frequently exhibits no symptoms emphasizes the significance of routine eye exams in identifying and treating the illness before irreversible vision loss happens.
