Can a 14 year old get glaucoma?
Can a 14 year old get glaucoma? Glaucoma is rare in children, as compared to the adult. However, when it does occur, the symptoms may not be as obvious in children. Many children are diagnosed before they are 6 months old. Glaucoma can affect one eye or both.
Why are my eyes yellow?
The whites of your eyes (called the sclera) turn yellow when you have a condition called jaundice. The whites of your eyes might turn yellow when your body has too much of a chemical called bilirubin, a yellow substance that forms when red blood cells break down. Normally, it’s not a problem.
What does glaucoma pain feel like?
The eye pain can be severe, and may cause headache, and even nausea or vomiting. In an acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, the eye pressure rises rapidly, causing pain, and also causes the cornea to become cloudy, thus patients also notice their vision has decreased.
What are the early warning signs of glaucoma?

- Eye Redness.
- Eye Pain or Headaches.
- Halos around Lights.
