3. Optic Nerve Abnormalities
Your doctor may also check for optic nerve abnormalities. Optic nerve abnormality can definitely lead to increased eye pressure. In fact, all of these things are related. Glaucoma is also one of the warning signs that you want to look for when it comes to increased eye pressure, and glaucoma can cause optic nerve damage.
When you have damage to the optic nerve, you can experience a wide variety of symptoms which include serious pain either right away after discovering the problem or a buildup of pain over time. You are also going to notice vision loss. This is pretty standard whenever you have damage to the optic nerve, and it may manifest as pain and trouble seeing out of the main eye, or you may experience problems with your periphery vision.
You should especially look for signs that you feel the vision – where everything is clear – is getting smaller.
