An eye specialist, simply by shining a light across your pupil or looking with a microscope can visualize how close up these structures are. The pupil is actually pushed up almost to the front of the eye, the inner lining of the cornea, in those at high risk. Slow, progressive damage to the ring, which results in gradual elevation of eye pressure can occur. This means those with narrow angles are essentially at risk for both open and narrow, or acute, angle closure glaucoma. Narrow angle risk can only be recognized upon examination of the front of your eye by an eye specialist.
Treatment can completely prevent an angle closure attack for life.
Congenital Glaucoma Congenital glaucoma occurs at birth. The initial signs are vague.
