Glaucomatous changes are visible in your OCT , so anti glaucoma medications will be continue . your findings are suggestive of glaucoma and not ocular hypertension .

From your oct report it is evident you are having changes with raised iop
We need to monitor your iop regularly every 3 months
You should do any Humphrey visual field test to see your field changes
We need to do overlap analysis and set a target iop for you
Meanwhile consume little bit less water during night times
And we have to record iop at different times within a dat(diurnal variation)and see which drugs we have to continue for you
