Probably: Lumigan is one of the standard eyedrops used to lower the internal eye pressure which is the treatment for glaucoma. Your eye doctor (hopefully an ophthalmologist - not an optometrist) has determined you are carrying an internal eye pressure which could compromise your vision and has given you a pressure lowering drop to combat that.
