Could this be glaucoma?
Jan 1,2017 i was having eye pain so I went to the eye dr and my eye pressure my slightly high in both eyes the dr took images of my optic nerve and said everything looked fine, now I am having eye pain again....could I have developed glaucoma in this short amount of time? My eyes hurt from time to time I’m worried I’ve developed glaucoma and my contact lenses are not at clear as before...btw I’m only 26 and no one in my family has this
Glaucoma is not a painful condition (except for the rare acute angle closure). Likely there is some other cause of your pain. Be sure the eye doctor you see is an Eye MD ophthalmologist.

Could optic nerve damage that quickly ?
read carefully Glaucoma not cause pain and most slow increases of IOP not painful. Glaucoma would not be a cause of your pain. Optic nerve damage in glaucoma is painless.
