What are the symptoms, if any, of Glaucoma?!


Question: What are the symptoms, if any, of Glaucoma?
I've been doing research on it trying to figure things out about it, but I have failed to find any symptoms of it. I've learned that it CAN run in the family. Only one family member that I know of (My Aunt) suffers from Glaucoma. Recently, my sister, who is 15 years old, has been complaining that her vision gets a little blurry at times. It is still possible for her to see things and read things clearly, but there is a blur to it. If that even makes sense. She also says that sometimes when she is trying to sleep at night, she'll see this "flash" of light go through her eye, yet there are no lights on whatsoever. It's just complete darkness. I have searched online for that as well and found out about a retinal detachment, I believe? but the light flashes don't occur frequently. More like, once a month, if even that. She also has headaches quite frequently and she feels this pressure-like feeling behind her right eye. Which is, indeed, I know, one cause of Glaucoma. (She has TMJ Disorder, which I think could possibly be the cause for the pressure behind eyes and headaches).

Anyway, my question is, what are the signs, if any, if Glaucoma, and what are the chances of another family member getting it? Thanks!
