The following symptoms and complaints may indicate glaucoma (glaucoma):
Leading symptoms of glaucoma
- Visual field loss (due to chronic optic atrophy) – generally detected very late because initially only peripheral areas of the visual field have defects; visual deterioration does not occur until central areas of the visual field are also affected.
- Decreased visual acuity
In the subacute stage of primary narrow-angle glaucoma.
- Rapid, progressive vision loss.
- Pain in the eye
- Vascular congestion
Associated symptoms
- Nausea and vomiting
- Blood in the eyeball
Leading symptoms in glaucoma attack (glaucoma acutum); usually unilateral.
- Eye pain
- Eye redness
- Nausea (nausea)/vomiting
- Extremely hard eyeball
- Sudden loss of vision (seeing fog; seeing haze), usually unilateral.
- Seeing color rings (halos)
Leading symptoms in children with primary congenital glaucoma.
- Opacity of the cornea (cornea)
- Buphthalmus – oversized eye due to increased intraocular pressure.
- Bluish discoloration of the eye
