Yes, glaucoma can occur at any age, although it is more common in older adults. Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss or blindness.

The most common form of glaucoma, called primary open-angle glaucoma, usually develops gradually and without symptoms, so many people are unaware they have the condition until it has progressed.
