Watch Out For These Early Warning Signs Of Glaucoma
February 14, 2017
Glaucoma is a term used to describe a group of progressive eye disorders that eventually lead to blindness. The two most common types of glaucoma are primary open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma begins by working inward and eventually leads to tunnel vision. Acute angle-closure glaucoma tends to cause blurred vision with halo effects around the eyes. Both cause irreversible damage, though this damage is at least somewhat treatable provided glaucoma is detected in the early stages of the condition. In order to detect glaucoma early, it is vital to be aware of the different and early warning signs of the condition. Knowledge is key here!
