You probably have angle recession following trauma to your eye which puts u at risk for developing glaucoma in the future. Its important that u undergo screening for glaucoma every 6 months for the rest of your life.
there is no cure for glaucoma once it develops, so the only thing that can be done is to detect the disease as early as possible and start treatment (which may be medical or surgical) to delay the progression. Consult an Ophthalmologist, preferably a glaucoma specialist.
