Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a sudden and serious eye condition that occurs when the drainage angle of the eye becomes blocked, leading to a rapid rise in intraocular pressure. This abrupt pressure increase can damage the optic nerve if not treated promptly, potentially resulting in permanent vision loss. It is considered an ophthalmic emergency that requires immediate medical intervention to restore normal fluid drainage and protect vision.
