Hello, You have a strong family history of glaucoma from both sides( mother and father). So you should definitely get your detailed glaucoma screaming done, which will include IOP , gonioscopy and Oct disc evaluation. Also please get your mother's eyes checked too.  Because of age factor the likelihood of her having glaucoma is more.
