Rachel, we've had several ferrets, both personal and shelter, develop
cataracts, as well as our mascot only having one eye (see our web page for
the full story).  Our experience is that ferrets do very well with limited
vision as they seem to do very well with deafness.  Unless the glaucoma is
harming him otherwise, I would not worry about treating it.  Our experience
is that it will not hurt his quality of life.
 
Good luck.
