Unfortunately, glaucoma is characterised by a lack of warning signs, making it difficult to spot.
The condition tends to develop slowly over many years, targeting the edges of your vision first.
However, there are some symptoms that patients with glaucoma might experience such as:
- Intense eye pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Red eye
- Headache
- Tenderness around the eyes
- Seeing rings around lights
- Blurred vision.
The NHS advises seeing an optician or a GP if you are experiencing any problems with your vision.
