Hi EmilyEvelyn. I don't actually have an answer for you, as I really don't know. It isn't something I have come across but wouldn't want to rule it out. Glaucoma itself wouldn't cause it but maybe certain treatments could?

You may like to try calling Guide Dogs, Children and Young Persons Helpline 0800 781 1444 to see if they have the information you require.

If you haven't already, do make your daughters eye specialist aware of this.
