Watch Out For These Early Warning Signs Of Glaucoma
Blurry Vision
Blurry vision is a common indication of poor eyesight. But if an individual notices their vision is becoming progressive blurry, it might be a sign of acute angle-closure glaucoma. Visual acuity occurs when there is a gradual decline in the sharpness of your vision. Because it does not usually present itself until later stages of the disease, it is important for affected individuals to seek treatment as soon as they notice blurry vision as significant damage may be irreversible, even with surgery.
Halos
Most individuals tend to notice something is not right with their eyes when they start having trouble seeing at night. This can make driving very difficult and even dangerous. Acute angle-closure glaucoma may cause halos, or a rainbow effect when light shines in an individual’s eyes at night. This can cause lights to seem blurry. Halos are sometimes accompanied by extreme pressure at night while trying to drive. If an individual’s vision becomes blurry at night or in other dim light areas, they should talk to a doctor about treatment.
