Is it possible to have glaucoma only in one eye?

Question:

I have medium-high myopia (-8 in the left eye and -8.5 in the right eye). My pressure is about 20, but my cornea is slightly thinner than the average. The results of the visual field test showed that my left eye is normal; some doubt arose in respect of the right eye: the first time seemed to confirm glaucoma, the second time was normal but with "low reliability of the patient". Is it possible that I have glaucoma only in one eye? Is this situation common? thank you very much Happy New Year Alberto

Response:

I have secondary glaucoma in one eye.  That’s glaucoma resulting from injury, infection, and such. Of course, that may not be helpful for the kind of situation you’re in.
