If you are seeing halos around lights then you may possibly be experiencing a symptom of acute angle-closure glaucoma, also known as closed-angle glaucoma. You should see a doctor as soon as possible if you are experiencing this, especially if the symptom is accompanied by severe pain in the eyes or blurred vision. Seeking medical attention as quickly as possibly is crucial to prevent any permanent damage.
