Does glaucoma have rainbow all the time

First of all, glaucoma is a kind of eye disease with intermittent or continuous increase of intraocular pressure. Continuous high intraocular pressure can bring damage to all parts of the eyeball tissue and visual function. If not treated in time, the visual field can be completely lost and blind. Glaucoma is one of the three leading causes of blindness in human blindness. The incidence rate of the total population is 1% and 2% after 45 years old.

Secondly, there are four types of glaucoma: congenital glaucoma, primary glaucoma, secondary glaucoma and mixed glaucoma. And each kind of glaucoma will have different symptoms, especially the characteristics of the disease will be different, in the emergence of glaucoma disease must be found in time, timely inspection and treatment.

Finally, the phenomenon of iridescence refers to the occurrence of glaucoma patients, when you look at the light, you can see the color ring around it, which is similar to the rainbow after the rain, so it is called iridescence. This is due to increased intraocular pressure, intraocular fluid circulation disorders caused by corneal edema, resulting in refractive changes. However, when the intraocular pressure returns to normal, the iridescence will disappear.
