Allergies or Glaucoma??

My ophtalmologist says that I have glaucoma in 1 eye, but it's the other eye that is causing problems. I am full of allergies, could my allergies cause pressure in my eyes because I don't think I have glaucoma? I am definitely going for a second opinion, just wanted to see if anyone could help with advice?

If you have any visual loss or loss of peripheral vision then instantly see your opthalmist as he will prescribe eye drops to reduce pressure. If you pressure reading s are above 20 then that pressure may be damaging your optic nerves * & once they are damaged it is irreparable.
