Hello
It seems from the history that you are having glaucoma and on treatment with lumigan eye drops.
Vitamins will not increase the intraocular pressure. The increase in intraocular pressure is because of glaucoma and the mechanism depends on the type of glaucoma.
Hence you need to continue treatment with lumigan eye drops.
Thank you
