What is another word for acute glaucoma?
Pronunciation: [ɐkjˈuːt ɡlɔːkˈə͡ʊmə] (IPA) 
Acute glaucoma, also known as angle-closure glaucoma, refers to a type of vision loss caused by sudden increased pressure within the eye. There are several other synonyms for this condition, including closed-angle glaucoma, narrow-angle glaucoma, and acute angle-closure glaucoma. Treatment typically involves reducing the intraocular pressure using eye drops or surgery. If left untreated, acute glaucoma can result in permanent vision loss. It is important to recognize the symptoms of acute glaucoma, such as severe eye pain, blurred vision, and a sudden decrease in visual acuity, and seek immediate medical attention if any of these symptoms occur.
