I have cataracts and think I have symptoms of glaucoma. I'm wondering if the glaucoma could have caused the cataract?

If you think you have "symptoms of glaucoma" you should see a medical eye physician (Ophthalmologist or Eye MD) for a baseline glaucoma examination. This would include a series of special tests not normally part of a 'regular' eye examination. (visual field, gonioscopy, optic nerve photographs, corneal thickness measurement and perhaps OCT (optical coherence tomography).
