Angle-closure glaucoma is a type of eye disease characterized by the progressive narrowing of the angle between the cornea and the iris, which is the colored part of the eye. This results in a decrease in the amount of light entering the eye, leading to vision problems.
In early stages, angle-closure glaucoma is often asymptomatic, meaning you may not experience any noticeable symptoms. As the condition progresses, symptoms may include:
Blurred vision
Difficulty seeing in low-light conditions
Straight lines appearing wavy or curved
Loss of central vision
Angle-closure glaucoma is caused by several factors, including age-related changes in the optic nerve, genetics, and high blood pressure. Treatment typically involves medications that help dilate the angle between the cornea and the iris, allowing more light to enter the eye
