Hmmm. I had an LPI on my right eye a couple of weeks ago. It took 117 zaps and my doctors who IS a specialist said that was on the high end. It ended up closing up due to inflammation but I only needed about 10 total during the revision. 300+ sounds like them may not have used the right kind of laser (YAG) or properly aimed for a weak part of the iris.

What is the size of your hole and where was it placed? Mine is very tiny, hardly visible to the naked eye. Nonetheless, I have been experiencing vision problems, as mentioned in my previous comments. I've only had 3 or 4 shots, which were painful but tolerable. Recently, I tried special colored contact lenses, which improved my vision in one aspect. However, the doctor advised against them due to my dry eyes. I'm seriously considering closing my holes and relocating them.
