can narrow angle distort your vision?

Hi,
I was sent to a nuero opthalmologist as I had nystagmus and an odd sensation of my eye twisting, accompanied by nausea. Whilst there thy found I had narrow angles and I'm going for laser treatment on Thursday. The pressure in my eyes is normal but I also have inflamed muscles ( found on ultrasound) and 'gritty' eyes.Would all this  be caused by the 'narrow angle glaucoma'. Angles less than 10% and closed in places.  Having read your posts I assume the laser is necessary? Also, I am on synthroid and had, what I now think, was an attack when the dose was too high ( extreme eye pain, loss of vision, nausea) Is this possible? Thanks


This discussion is related to what is narrow angles.

Yes those could be symptoms of a subacute angle closure attack.  Yesterday a woman came to my clinic with angle closure in both eyes and pressure of 65 anf 47. Best have the laser and prevent that from happening.
