Do you have eye pain?
Are you unable to see out from one eye?
Do you have redness on the white part of your eyes?
Do you have bloodshot (red) eyes?
Do you have tearing from one eye only?
This requires emergency medical care. Avoid staying in a dark room or lying down as this can worsen the condition. In the first stage, medicines to lower eye pressures will be given in the form of eyedrops, oral medicine, and medicine given through a needle in the vein. In the second stage, a laser procedure or surgery may be needed to permanently fix the problem.
