Hi Haley and welcome to the forum!

Could this be a sign of glaucoma or is it just a symptom of the blindness? I have noticed no other changes in her recently.
Yes, it could....or, maybe not.

There i really only one way to find out - an examination of the eye, and the measurement of the ocular pressure.

The diagnosis of glaucoma is based on history, clinical signs, measuring the intraocular pressure [tonometry] and visually examining the drainage angle using gonioscopy.

Here's another Veterinary ophthalmology reference for you with pictures: http://www.northwestanimaleye.com/si...1_Glaucoma.pml

It's a quick procedure easily accomplished by your Vet.....be sure to give us an update afterwards.
