Cataract is a lens-related vision problem, whereas glaucoma is a nerve-related vision problem. So, if someone has a cataract in their eye, it doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019ll develop glaucoma too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it has been seen in some rare cases that <strong>a cataract causes excessive swelling on the lens, leading to increased pressure in the eye, further leading to glaucoma.<\/strong> But again, this is rare to happen because before reaching the stage, a person might experience severe discomfort and seek medical attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_Person_Get_Both_Cataract_and_Glaucoma_at_the_Same_Time\"><\/span>Can a Person Get Both Cataract and Glaucoma at the Same Time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not an unnatural thing to happen in older adults.
