Angle Closure Glaucoma

Angle Closure Glaucoma is a serious eye condition where the fluid in the eye cannot drain properly, leading to a rapid increase in eye pressure. This occurs when the angle between the iris and the cornea gets too narrow, blocking the drainage canals. Symptoms may include sudden eye pain, headaches, blurred vision, and seeing halos around lights. It's a medical emergency that can result in permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. Treatments may include medications, laser therapy, or surgery to help relieve the pressure and restore proper fluid drainage. Regular eye exams can help detect risk factors early.
