I was just diagnosed with Glaucoma last year and I just turned 79. Is it possible I had Glaucoma all this time or could trauma caused it?

Glaucoma is usually diagnosed when optimologist sees damage to the optic nerve which is caused by pressure in the eyes. It is also true that glaucoma can be triggered by trauma to the eyes. I'm not aware of any way to tell exactly what the cause of glaucoma is.
