Which category includes symptoms that necessitate semiurgent evaluation within a few days?

  1. Acute narrow-angle glaucoma

  2. Previously undiagnosed glaucoma

  3. Ocular tumors

  4. Optic neuritis

The correct answer is: Ocular tumors

Ocular tumors are categorized as symptoms that necessitate semiurgent evaluation within a few days. This is because ocular tumors can have serious implications and require prompt assessment and management to prevent potential vision loss or other complications. Acute narrow-angle glaucoma and optic neuritis are considered emergencies that require immediate attention, while previously undiagnosed glaucoma can typically be managed on a less urgent basis as it may not present an immediate threat to vision or eye health.
