AB Acute  narrow  or  closed-angle  glaucoma  (ACG)  results  from  a  physical  impedance  of  aqueous  humor  outflow.  Symptoms  range  from  colored  halos  around  lights  and  blurred  vision  to  severe  pain  (described  as  a  headache  or  brow  ache)  with  nausea  and  vomiting.  IOP  is  markedly  elevated.  Perilimbal  vessels  are  injected,  the  pupil  is  middilated  and  poorly  reactive  to  light,  and  the  cornea  may  be  hazy  and  edematous.
