Watch out for acute glaucoma.
Many of you probably look at your phones in the dark before going to bed.
However, if you suddenly experience severe eye pain and a throbbing headache at that moment, it could be this condition.
Take a close look at this report.
Professor Kim Min-jin of the Department of Ophthalmology at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital warned that these symptoms could be a sign of acute angle-closure glaucoma.
It is a condition where the drainage pathway for fluid inside the eye becomes blocked, causing intraocular pressure to rise sharply. Even just a few hours of this can damage the optic nerve, and leaving it untreated can reportedly lead to blindness.
Representative symptoms include severe eye pain, decreased vision, redness, headaches, and vomiting.
Experts explain that if you experience severe eye pain or blurred vision, you should visit an ophthalmologist immediately just in case.
