My father has glaucoma. He wasn’t born with it, he just discovered it 1 year ago. Am I at risk of it? Is it hereditary?

Dr. Pierre Mardelli Ophthalmology
A family history of glaucoma, whether present at birth or acquired later in life, is a risk factor for glaucoma. It is important for you to have regular eye exams, and to convey your family history to your eye doctor.

Regards,
Pierre G. Mardelli
