What you may notice
Symptoms can overlap with other conditions and vary between people.
- Often no early symptoms
- Gradual peripheral vision loss
- Eye pain in acute forms
- Blurred vision in some cases
Understanding care
Clinical care may include optic nerve and eye-pressure assessment with ongoing clinician-directed care. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
Sudden severe eye pain, blurred vision, colored halos or nausea needs emergency eye assessment. Regular specialist checks remain important because some forms are initially silent.
For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
