Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Can you please mention your intraocular pressure and cup disc ratio of optic nerve so that I can know for sure you have glaucoma . Glaucoma is a serious condition and it can affect vision permanently so we need to properly evaluate and medicines will continue for whole life .so please we need the rest of the details . and no study has proved Lamotrigine has any effect on IOP so you can relax on that front.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
