  Yes, it is possible. But it is a fat chance that sinus pressure cause glaucoma. That's because glaucoma is caused by high intraocular pressure which can sometimes be affected by sinus pressure. Sinuses are in a cross section of the head where some part of the sinuses reach the eyes. When a person suffers from sinus pressure, the sinus may get swollen and press the eyes. But this is temporary. The pressure last for a very short period, so it won't affect the eyes long enough to cause glaucoma.

  The main cause of glaucoma is elevated pressure in the eye. The optic nerve transmits the images we see. The elevated pressure can cause the damage of optic nerve, which cause interruption of optic nerve transmits the image to the brain, and then cause glaucoma. While, glaucoma also can be caused by poor regulation of blood flow to the optic nerve, which mostly occur among elder people.
