Hello sir,
Very valid question
There are various types of anti glaucoma Medications and not all of them need to be kept under refrigeration.
Usually the class of prostaglandin analogues (PGA) like Travoprost, Latanoprost and Bimatoprost are the ones which need refrigeration.
But these days lot of new brands of PGA have come which can be stored at normal room temperature
