Watch Out For These Early Warning Signs Of Glaucoma

Redness And Swelling

Bloodshot or swollen eyes may be an indication of pressure buildup within the eye, which is a sign of acute angle-closure glaucoma. Eye pressure occurs when the iris becomes inflamed and causes the sensation of pressure within the eye. By the time the eyes become visibly swollen and red, emergency treatment or surgery might be necessary, depending on the circumstances and what exactly is causing it. Patients may also experience redness in their eyes if they overuse eye drops, are dehydrated, or are overtired.
