Many people know of the eye disease glaucoma. However, they are often at a loss as to what causes this disease. The best way to keep any problems arising from glaucoma to a minimum is to get help from an eye doctor at the first sign of glaucoma symptoms. While they can vary from person to person, some of the more common symptoms are listed below. Loss of Peripheral VisionOne of the first glaucoma symptoms is usually a loss of peripheral vision. This loss will happen gradually, in most cases. Peripheral vision refers to the vision on the side of your eyes. When you've experienced this type of vision, you're likely to notice that you have larger blind spots to your side and will likely have to turn your head further than normal just to see what's on the side of you. If you have noticed this type of loss of vision, be sure to let your eye doctor know. Tunnel VisionAnother one of the more common glaucoma symptoms is tunnel vision. This refers to the sensation of only being able to see directly in front of you. It is also gradual, in most cases, and is likely to happen after a person has slowly lost their peripheral vision over a number of months or years. Tunnel vision is not only an aggravating experience, it can make driving and other daily routine events dangerous. If you're experiencing tunnel vision, you'll want to let your eye doctor know right away. Blurred VisionBlurred vision is another example of glaucoma symptoms. When your vision becomes blurred, you're likely to at first think that something is simply in your eye. Many people will rub their eyes, blink repeatedly, or even add eye drops. After a period of time, when this blurred effect does not go away, only then will they seek medical help. If your vision is blurred and doesn't show any signs of unblurring, it's best to see a doctor as soon as possible. Severe Eye PainWhile many glaucoma symptoms are more annoying than painful, it is possible to have pain as a result of glaucoma. This is often felt as severe eye pain, which can feel similar to having a sinus headache, or a lot of pressure behind or around the eyes. Often when eye pain is a symptom, it will come with nausea and vomiting as well. While these can be symptoms of glaucoma, they can be symptoms of many other conditions as well. It's best to let your eye doctor make the property diagnosis. Change In Vision With Changing LightingIf you experience a change in vision sharpness or quality when you're in a lower lighted setting, this can be one of the glaucoma symptoms as well. This is often described as fuzziness in low light. Sometimes people view what look like halos around light sources and will experience floaters, which appear to be particles floating on the surface of the eye. If you notice your vision is different at night than during the day, it's time to see your eye doctor. |

Of all the uncomfortable things in the world, eye infections most certainly rank in the top ten of such afflictions. You actively use your eyes pretty much all the time except, of course while you are asleep. If something is causing discomfort in the eye area it can be difficult not to go slightly crazy with the itchiness, scratchiness and soreness. Eye infections need to be treated relatively quickly before they have the chance to turn into something a little more sinister.
