Did the opthalmologist ever talk to you about lense replacement instead of LPI? Just curious, since this is what I will have done if heaven forbid I have any problems.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thank you for sharing.
My cataracts is mild and doesn't affect my vision. Basically, no reputable surgeon will do this for someone young with mild age-related slowly progressing cataracts. Lens replacement is much more invasive and risky compared to LPI. I just had my revision surgery (which is rare but DOES happen). My hole is now bigger and the doctor says it will NOT close again, but I'm on an aggressive anti-inflammation routine to make sure.
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.

I have been advised by my ophthalmologist to have a YAG Laser Iridotomy, I am having concerns about this procedure, basically the after effects and or the pain during the procedure, If anyone out there have had this procedure done will you kindly share your experience and after affects. Thank you in advance.
i’ve had two of those procedures—-PAINLESSLY. After the first, i had an ocular migraine for 24–48 hours. After the second, i was given preservative free steroid eye drops —and had no problems, My vision improved almost immediately after each procedure

My hole is about 1mm and it was placed in the 9/8:30 position.
