According to Mayo Clinic cataract surgery can be a risk for glaucoma.

I was diagnosed with glaucoma before Cataracts and after my Cataract surgery my interocular pressure went down and I no longer had to use eye drops and my pressure has been fine since.
Good luck,
Jake
Thanks for sharing your experience Jake. I have both cataracts and Fuch’s dystrophy. Both blur vision but each on on its own is not severe but together are close to stoping me from passing my drivers licence. I have to get either both issues fixed or can have just the cataracts done.so don’t want to introduce glaucoma as well if I have my cataracts done.
