Question
My child has been born not long ago, and their eyes are always tearing, and they are always crying. Could it be glaucoma?
Answer
This condition does not resemble glaucoma, which typically presents with symptoms such as red eyes, pain, vision loss, headaches, nausea, and more. If you have measured the intraocular pressure and it is not high, you can rule out glaucoma. It is recommended that you go for a check-up when you feel discomfort in your eyes, especially when the symptoms are severe. You can also have a 24-hour intraocular pressure test, as well as undergo visual field, anterior chamber angle, and fundus examinations to further rule out glaucoma. In your case, considering the possibility of eye fatigue is more likely.
