Can stress and sleeplessness cause high pressure in eyes?

Glaucoma: No it would not. Eyes probably feel heavy usually will show you need more rest.

No: internal eye pressure is self generated and not responsive to the condition of the rest of the body whether stress, exercise, exhaustion or anything else (except certain pharmaceutical agents),
