MODEL RELEASED. Closed-angle glaucoma. This is a condition in which the pressure of fluid inside the eyeball builds up to harmful levels. In closed-angle,or acute,glaucoma,there is a blockage of the outflow of aqueous humour,the fluid that fills the eye. This leads to a rapid rise in fluid pressure,which can cause severe pain,blurred vision and inflammation of the eye. Acute glaucoma is a medical emergency,and treatment includes eye drops and pills to reduce the pressure. Surgery is then normally required to re-open the blocked humour drainage channel. If untreated,it can cause blindness | |
