Answers:
Glaucoma is an intraocular disease that doesn't affect the eye in a "filmy" substance way you are talking!. It sounds like your eyes are secreting more mucins, which would explain the cloudy filmy appearance, probably to fight an infection!. Do not rub your eye and try adding some heat to it before you go to be with a damp warm washcloth!. If it continues, make an appointment with an Optometrist and he or she can get to the bottom of the problem and also check your intraocular pressures for glaucoma, a disease you probably 99% don't have at a younger age!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Thats probably not true!. Glaucoma comes with increased eye pressure and is a slow onset condition!. Its possible you have retinal swelling!. If you injured yourself or are down with the sniffles, SEE A DOC!. AV nicking is more likely, which is generally due to swelling or high Blood Pressure!. Either of these will require you to see a doc!. You can get your BP taken at any walmart or CVS pharmacy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it does not sound at all like glaucoma!. Sounds like you may have a mild eye infection!.
Glaucoma is the thief of sight!. Pressure in the eye builds up over time and causes (usually) a slow, painless progression of peripheral vision!.
Go to your ophthalmologist just to be sure anyway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
