10 Glaucoma Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Glare
Just like halos, glare occurs when there is a light source that enters an eye in a particular way, interfering with vision. It can cause discomfort, leading people to squint to decrease the amount of light that enters the eye. Glare can also hurt the acuity of vision as light scatters inside the eye and images become blurry.
Glares can often be worse in dim environments, although they occur more commonly in the daytime. Glares can also be the result of glaucoma, cataracts, farsightedness, astigmatism, and nearsightedness.
