If this does not succeed, surgery is necefsary. In this type of glaucoma, only one eye Is affected at first, though there is a tendency for the other to become involved later on. On examination the eyelid is often found to be swollen and there is some congestion of the lining membrane over the eyeball. The front part of the eyeball or cornea is cloudy, and the pupil, which is the opening into the eye, is enlarged. The chronic type of glaucoma is one of the most insidious of diseases.

It creeps on its victims slowly and is likely to be neglected because it causes no pain. The seeing of halos around lights is almost the only early sign likely to be observed and hence it is of great importance that anyone who notices thus symptom get an eye examination at once. The most common type of glaucoma is called chronic simple glaucoma. This type occurs slightly more often in women than men. and generally after forty years of age.

It differs from the acute glaucoma in that there is no pain. In most instances both eyes are affected. One of the early signs is seeing halos around lights. The condition interferes with the eyesight. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS E.
