Hi, I think if there is a suspicion of glaucoma, you should go for the tests. It will not affect your pregnancy. But if glaucoma is diagnosed, you should discuss with your doctor that you are planning to get pregnant. In pregnancy, some glaucoma medicines are not safe for the fetus. So, you will be given treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question.
