What are early signs of Glaucoma?

I have been near-sighted and wearing gles since I was 11 yrs. old. I am now 34 yrs. old and having problems with my eyes. I went to a specialist a few years ago and he said that I may be developing glaucoma ot maybe I was just born with that pressure in my eyes. I never went back to have them checked again. Over the past couple of years I seem to have a difficulty driving at night, like night blindness. And two times, over the past few months, I have experienced seeing bright spots in the form of an arc. It prevents me from reading or seeing the majority of my face in the mirror. And today it blocked my peripheral vision, on my left side. I'm thankful that these temporary blind moments only last but about 15-20 minutes. I'm only wondering if this has to do with glaucoma, am I at a later stage or is it still curable? Is this something that can be fixed with surgery?
