Question
What are the symptoms of chronic simple glaucoma?
Answer
The initial symptoms of chronic simple glaucoma are not pronounced, often bilateral, and develop slowly. As the condition progresses, there is a gradual decrease in intraocular pressure, and the angle of the anterior chamber remains open. When the disease reaches a certain stage, patients may experience mild headaches, eye pain, blurred vision, and halos. However, these symptoms can be relieved after rest and are often overlooked. But in the late stage, there is a significant impact on vision field, and even nerve atrophy of the optic nerve.
