3. Visual Disturbances
Quite often due to studies have shown, and advice given by doctors, everyone tends to think Glaucoma is limited and has to first be experienced by pain in the eye and then necessary action taken. This could not be false. Studies show that patients with normal eye pressures can have Glaucoma and instead exhibit one of the other common symptoms. A visual disturbance can range anywhere from blind spots insight when looking through the eye, a blurred vision or even rainbow halo’s appearing around highly lit areas.
The eye pressure damages nerve fibers in your optics creating blind spots which, if not taken seriously can lead to blindness, as the eventual nerve can be fully destroyed. There is currently no cure for Glaucoma so early diagnosis assists the patient in slowing down the process as much as possible, as then the eye specialist can launch a series of remedies based on the patient’s development.
