What are the clinical manifestations of juvenile glaucoma?

Glaucoma seriously affects people's daily lives. If teenagers do not pay attention in their daily lives, they may also get glaucoma, a terrible disease. So what are the symptoms of adolescent glaucoma? When something happens, it indicates that you may have glaucoma. Let's take a look at what the doctor says. The doctor tells us that the symptoms of adolescent glaucoma can be divided into the following points:

Clinical manifestations

Except for the large fluctuations in intraocular pressure, the symptoms are basically the same as those of primary open-angle glaucoma. The disease is insidious and progresses slowly. Because the presence of glaucoma in this age group is often not suspected and is only discovered when obvious glaucomatous signs appear, the diagnosis of this type of glaucoma must be taken very seriously. Because glaucomatous optic disc retraction in young people is atypical. Especially in myopic patients with glaucoma, glaucomatous papillary retractions tend to be shallow and wide.

Generally speaking, juvenile glaucoma is a more serious condition. Intraocular pressure tends to be variable, and there may even be significant differences from day to day. It is more common than in chronic simple glaucoma to have a rapid increase in intraocular pressure and halo vision. A glaucomatous state should be suspected in all children and young adults with rapidly progressive myopia. High intraocular pressure acts on the dilatable cornea and sclera of young people, thereby aggravating myopia.

In the developed cases, progressive optic atrophy and optic disc retraction may be seen, as in chronic simple glaucoma, combined with glaucomatous visual field loss. Tonometry showed low aqueous humor flow coefficient.

I believe the above content has given us an understanding of the symptoms of adolescent glaucoma. The doctor told us that when you have the above symptoms, you may have glaucoma. Therefore, everyone must not take it lightly in daily life. When the above symptoms appear, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. I believe that as long as you follow the doctor's guidance and suggestions for treatment, you will be able to recover your health as soon as possible.
