Glaucoma can be influenced by genetic factors, but its inheritance pattern can vary. If the man has glaucoma, it typically suggests he carries a genetic predisposition to the condition. If his father is normal, it’s possible that the man has a recessive form of glaucoma, which would mean he may pass on the condition to some of his children. However, without specific genetic information about the woman and the type of glaucoma involved, it’s difficult to provide an exact proportion. Generally, if the woman is unaffected and assuming the father's glaucoma is recessive, the children would have a 0% chance of inheriting the condition.
