I have not heard of COVID affecting glaucoma. You can go to PUBMED.gov and search for COVID-19 vaccination AND glaucoma and you can read the worlds research on the subject. I would also go to CDC.gov and query that site. I do know that if she gets COVId at her age more likely to die than younger folks.
