  It depends on the type of glaucoma. Usually it takes one day to cause blindness if you have closed angle glaucoma and let it untreated. And if you suffer it, you may feel severe pain and sudden loss of vision. Also, there is a type of glaucoma progress is chronically. And it can be caught by regular eye exams. Still open angle glaucoma also progresses slowly. Anyway, if you get glaucoma, you shall consult an eye doctor to help you treat it.
