Treatment of acute glaucoma
The manifestations of acute glaucoma are completely different to chronic glaucoma. The main difference is the presence of numerous acute glaucoma symptoms: very severe eye pain, loss of vision, photophobia and, occasionally, general malaise accompanied by nausea and reflex vomiting. The main cause of acute glaucoma is sudden and severe blockage of the aqueous humour or intraocular fluid in the anterior chamber of the eye.
