Academic facility for 2nd glaucoma opinion. dr said genetics not factor controlling glaucoma i won't be same as mother. 1st dr. disagreed. which right?

There is an: Increased risk of glaucoma when you have a relative. There is high variability with the disease itself. Your disease course is not genetic.

Both are right: Genetics certainly plays a role in the development of certain forms of glaucoma. But that is not to say that your treatment outcome will be determined by how your relatives did. You are a separate individual and will respond in your own way.
