I heard somewhere that where that glaucoma or the treatment has bad effects on e.i looked it up but found nothing
 
There are many different kinds of eye drops that are prescribed for glaucoma. I suspect the ones you may be thinking of are those that contain Epinephrine, which is a stimulant that can be problematic for some people with epilepsy.

There are studies that suggest that cannabis can help relieve eye pressure (one of the symptoms of glaucoma). So in that case glaucoma treatment might potentially have good effects on epilepsy. See:
