What are the clinical manifestations of acute angle-closure glaucoma?

  Acute closed-angle glaucoma, mostly seen in elderly people over 50 years old, is often caused by acute major glaucoma attacks after emotional excitement and overexertion. In addition to ocular symptoms, it is often accompanied by systemic manifestations such as nausea, vomiting and headache. Patients may ignore the ocular symptoms and often consult gastroenterology or neurology, thus delaying treatment.  Note: Although glaucoma is an irreversible and blinding eye disease, the condition can be effectively controlled if it is detected and treated early. Therefore, it is important to know some general knowledge about glaucoma so that you can raise your awareness of prevention in your daily life. When you encounter headache and nausea, if it is accompanied by eye manifestations such as eye redness, photophobia, eye pain and blurred vision, you must be alert! While consulting internal medicine, visit the ophthalmology department as early as possible to rule out glaucoma.
