Acute angle-closure glaucoma
Acute angle-closure glaucoma is an eye disease in which the intraocular pressure (IOP) rises sharply due to the sudden closure of the anterior chamber angle. The pathogenesis is not yet clear. It is often accompanied by obvious eye pain, decreased vision, ipsilateral migraine, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. If not treated promptly and appropriately, blindness may occur in a short period of time.
