Very high pressure: The highest risk is if your eye pressure was extremely high, for example iop 60 (most population is 10-21). This type of pressure, if an acute rise, is often symptomatic with red eye, pain, decreased vision.

Variety of factors: Person who has immediate relative with glaucoma (parents or siblings), with large cupped optic nerves and high eye pressures (above 21), with history of blunt eye trauma would i think be at most risk for glaucoma.
