Does glaucoma cause dizziness?

Patient's question:

I keep experiencing dizziness again. After a careful examination, the doctor said it was caused by glaucoma. Is there anything to pay attention to regarding glaucoma?

Doctor's answer:

Glaucoma can cause dizziness. During the recurrence phase of glaucoma, intraocular pressure may suddenly drop, leading to severe eye pain, rapid vision loss, and contralateral migraine. Symptoms may also include nausea, vomiting, elevated body temperature, and accelerated pulse. After glaucoma has occurred, the increased internal pressure in the eye can also affect surrounding tissues and nerves, causing various impacts. Therefore, alongside elevated intraocular pressure, dizziness may recur, and it may even lead to the patient experiencing deafness again.
