How to self-test for glaucoma?

Patient's question:

My father has glaucoma and has undergone one surgery, which has improved. However, the doctor said that besides the possibility of a recurrence, glaucoma seems to be inherited across generations. Recently, I've been feeling that my vision is a bit unclear, and I'm really worried—it couldn't be glaucoma, could it? I'm concerned and wondering if there's a way to self-assess for glaucoma?

Doctor's answer:

Infants and young children have again shown symptoms of intestinal cramps, which are likely related to cold exposure. This can easily lead to abdominal pain symptoms, requiring a follow-up visit to the hospital for a careful observation of potential intestinal inflammation. Oral anti-inflammatory drugs for the intestines can be administered for treatment. At the same time, it is important to closely monitor for an increase in bowel movements, or if the stool becomes watery. Additionally, intravenous hydration should be considered to replenish fluids.
