Symptoms of GLAUCOMA, PRIMARY ANGLE-CLOSURE
Sometimes there may be warnings of acute glaucoma. These can come as preliminary attacks that rapidly disappear. However, many attacks of acute closed angle glaucoma come with no warning. They often occur at night, when the light is dim. The dilation of the iris aggravates the narrowing. A red, painful eye may rapidly develop. New onset of headache may develop, sometimes with nausea and vomiting. Blurred vision occurs with halos around lights. The eye is tender, firm and painful. the pupil may appear dilated and does not contract normally when light is shined into it.
