Yes, if you have Glaucoma and the carotid artery is being compressed, then that can cause Glaucoma. I had that discussion with my Eagles surgeon because my eyes hurt before surgeries and I suddenly had Glaucoma. At first he said, no. Later he told me that he was wrong, he had a patient or read about it. If you have Glaucoma make sure you follow all the instructions and ask any questions you have. It is treatable. If the carotid compression is a cause and that is corrected, then you will always have Glaucoma, but you may not have a serious progression as long as you keep it controlled. I have been doing well for 9 years and hope to continue. Best of luck on your journey.
