Could head woods cause Glaucoma?
No, cataracts are not a form of glaucoma. Glaucoma is a disease that causes damage to the optic nerve, the amount of nerve damage determines the vision loss. Cataracts affect the lens inside the eye. The lens grows your whole life, as you get older the lens becomes thicker and harder, eventually it becomes so hard it becomes opaque, and stops light getting into the eye. Cataracts can be caused by trauma as well, the force from the injury can make the lens stop light getting into the eye. They can normally be removed but if the eye is badly injured then it may not be an option, the doctors will be able to tell you.
