Fluromethalone can cause increased iop .i have seen in many cases. Please withdraw it.and after some time again get your iop checked. If is still raised then please consult a glaucoma specialist.

Hello
There are many issues here
A. Corneal thickness has an effect in intraocular pressure... More the thickness, less the actual pressure
B. FML eyedrop is fluorometholone which is a soft steroid... Though less but chances of increased pressure are there with FML
