Symptoms of GLAUCOMA, CHRONIC OPEN-ANGLE

Unfortunately, chronic glaucoma has few or no early warning signs. The central vision, vision that you read with, will remain relatively normal until the last stages of the disease. There is gradual loss of peripheral vision. This may be difficult to detect. However, sometimes people begin to notice they run into things on the side when they walk or drive. More advance stages of chronic glaucoma are associated with enlarging areas of visual loss. This is typically seen in both eyes. The eyeball may feel hard. Halos may appear around lights, blind spots may become noticeable and there may be poor night vision.
