3. Eye Pain

Angle-closure glaucoma advances faster than other types, sometimes even presenting with sudden symptoms. One of the most common symptoms of angle-closure glaucoma is eye pain. The severity depends on several factors. In some cases, the pain is minor because the person experiencing it has a high pain tolerance or the pressure has not increased to an extreme degree. Alternatively, the pressure increase could be gradual, so the individual becomes used to the pain over time.
