My mother has been diagnosed with glucoma and is currently being teated with eye drops. Recently, 1-1/2 weeks I have had a pain in one eye and it actually hurt to touch and a nagging headache. The headache is certainly not severe. It seemed to be more noticable during the morning and evening. I am thinking it might only be a sinis infection, but I am concerned that it may be symptoms of glucoma.
What you are describing could be symptoms of glaucoma, but they're rare symptoms. You may want to check with a doctor just in case.
Well,
First you have to know that there are two types of glaucoma, open angle glaucoma and closed angle glaucoma. Now considering the symptoms of glaucoma you have to know that some of these that you have listed are symptoms of glaucoma, but some may be a symptom of sinus infection as well. However, sever eye pain, halous around the light, reddening of the eye are all symptoms of the glaucoma. Also blurred vision and sudden onset of visual disturbance may also be noticed in glaucoma. Nausea and vomiting are also symptoms of glaucoma. As you can see these all lead to glaucoma so she better see a doctor to get the treatment soon.
All the best,
Nelie
