Answer: Chronic open-angle glaucoma is referred to as the silent type because it may not be discovered until considerable damage occurs to the retina and optic nerve from elevated IOP.
Acute angle-closure glaucoma is accompanied by severe pain, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and redness of the eye, and photophobia, accompanied by an acute significant elevation of IOP.
