Can Lotrimin Be Used For Lowering Eye Pressure?

My husband was prescribed lotta min eye drops today and he doesn t know why. He has had major glaucoma issue in the past 18onrhs that involved 2 shunt surgeries in his R eye. One Dr. Did it wrong and a specialist had to redo the surgery. He had many complications and already takes 4 eye drops 2-3 times a day to keep the pressures down in both eyes. What diagnosis would make his eye Dr. Prescribe Lotramin to be used 4times a day for 2 weeks and an oral steroid twice a day?
