Acute glaucoma is a sudden and severe rise in pressure inside the eye that happens when fluid cannot drain properly. This can cause intense eye pain, redness, blurred vision, headache, nausea, and seeing halos around lights. Because the pressure rises quickly, it can damage the optic nerve in a short time and lead to permanent vision loss if not treated immediately. Acute glaucoma is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment to lower the eye pressure and reopen the drainage pathway. Treatment may include medicines to reduce pressure, laser procedures to improve drainage, or surgery in some cases. Early recognition and fast care greatly improve the chance of saving vision, so anyone with the typical symptoms should seek urgent medical attention. After the immediate event, ongoing follow-up is important to prevent recurrence and manage long-term eye health.
