Symtoms of this type of glaucoma

The symptoms of this type of glaucoma vary from patient to patient. Because the symptoms depend on the patient’s stage of the disease. In addition, some of the symptoms are those that can be seen only with the use of various instruments and there are many of the symptoms that are felt only by the patient; can not be measured by any instrument.

The symptoms perceived by patients

Thepatients with this type of glaucoma suffer from so severe discomfort that they are forced to see a doctor. Severe  eye pain, headache, vision loss, blurring, etc. are some of the symptoms that make it difficult for anyone to stay home. Consider it in detailed manner:

1. A patient who is still in the early stages of the disease may occasionally feel as if the head has become heavy for a short period of time. Sometimes there are mild episodes of headache, but after a while these symptoms go away automatically, or they can be cured by using a variety of magic tricks, some are relieved by a doctor’s pill or injection. Someone says I use some homeopathic or herbal medicine and I get better. Many associate this reief with some religious act. We can call this period of distress an attack. This stage is called prodromal stage. Apparently the attack relievs and the credits goes to various drugs and religious healers etc. but in fact it lays some permanent damage to the eyes, and the damage accummulates with each attack! The disease progresses gradually, just as termites grow inside the wood. Many patients are not diagnosed as glaucoma at this stage, although this is the stage in which glaucoma are 100% curable. The main reason for not being diagnosed is that patients do not go to an eye specialist. Or if goes to doctor, they miss to measure the IOP.
2. When the disease progresses, some blurring is also felt in front of the eyes during the attack, and colored circles also appear when looking at the bulb. This is actually pointing out that the obstruction in the aquous drainage has been increased considerably and the eye pressure has now begun to increase considerably leading to cprneal edema. The loss caused by each stroke increases the oveall damage.
3. At the next stage of glaucoma, the patient develops redness in addition to pain in the eyes during the attack. And in addition to some of the heaviness and redness of the eyes, there is a gradual decrease in vision; at this stage also many times eye specialists also make mistakes due to hurry and do not check eye pressure. They treat the patient as a patient of allergic or other conjunctivitis. This stage is called chronic congestive glaucoma.
4. If the treatment opportunity is wasted at this stage, then the notorious attack of glaucoma develops. This stage is called acute congestive glaucoma. It is the notorious form of the disease which is commonly called glaucoma in the popular sense. Following symptoms may occur during this visit:
   1. The patient has a severe headache.
   2. There is severe pain inside the eye.
   3. Many patients come and say that they have not been able to sleep for two or three days due to the severity of the pain.
   4. Severe vomiting occurs and cholera is being treated.
   5. There may be a state of intoxication.
   6. There is a sudden decrease in vision.

In such condition, the patient often has to be hospitalized.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image source=”external_link” custom_src=”https://www.drasifkhokhar.com/Images/Glaucoma/ACteAttack.jpg”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
