Open-angle glaucoma
Open-angle chronic glaucoma is painless, tends to develop slowly over time, and often has no symptoms until the disease has progressed significantly. It is treated by the eye specialist in Pune at MSEH with either glaucoma medication to lower the pressure, or with various pressure-reducing glaucoma surgeries.
Closed-angle(or angle closure) glaucoma
Closed-angle chronic glaucoma,however, is characterized by sudden eye pain, redness, nausea and vomiting, and other symptoms resulting from a sudden spike in intraocular pressure, and is treated as a medical emergency.
