  1. angle-closure glaucoma

    Angle-closure glaucoma is a type of glaucoma characterized by a sudden increase in intraocular pressure, resulting from impaired flow of fluid through the eye's drainage channels which are physically blocked by the outer edge of the iris. It often occurs abruptly and requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms can include severe eye pain, nausea, redness in the eye, blurred vision, and haloes around lights. If untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.
