Home -> Shop By Store -> GlaucomaGlaucomaWhat is Glaucoma ?Glaucoma is a common eye condition in which vision is lost because of damage to the optic nerve. Symptoms of Glaucoma Although open-angle glaucoma and acute glaucoma both cause blindness, their symptoms are very different. Open-angle glaucoma In this form of glaucoma, vision is lost painlessly and so gradually that most people do not realize they have a problem until substantial damage has occurred. Acute Glaucoma Symptoms of acute glaucoma occur suddenly and can include blurred vision, pain and redness in the eye, severe headache, halos around lights at night, a haziness in the cornea (the clear front portion of the eye in front of the pupil), nausea and vomiting, and extreme weakness. Diagnosis of Glaucoma Your doctor will not diagnose glaucoma unless your optic nerve shows evidence of damage. However, some people will be found to have elevated eye (intraocular) pressure but no evidence of optic-nerve damage. In this case, you may be told that you are a "glaucoma suspect" or have "pre-glaucoma. |
