Glaucoma Symptoms

The SYMPTOMS of GLAUCOMA are due to the increased pressure in the eye making it hard like a cue ball.

The symptoms of glaucoma are:

  • Very painful red eyeball.

  • Blurred vision.

  • Haloes around lights at night.

  • Tunnel vision.

Glaucoma most often tends to cause painless loss of vision that creeps up on you. The vision loss is similar to your blind spot getting much bigger than it should be. The Spaeth test is a simple way to check yourself for loss of vision using your TV. Turn it on to an empty 'snow' channel and sit a foot or two away. Now close one eye and with the open one see if you can see all of the television. Now repeat on the other side. If you found part of the TV dissappeared in either eye you need to 'see' your eye doctor.
