Yes, viral infections can potentially contribute to the development of glaucoma. Certain viruses, such as the herpes simplex virus, can lead to inflammation in the eye, which may increase intraocular pressure and result in secondary glaucoma. Additionally, viral infections can cause changes in the eye's structures, which might also affect fluid drainage.
