I am possibly needing LPI. My doctor gave a rating to my angle. I could not find a rating system referred to anywhere in my research. Is there one assigned to this condition? Ie., what number would be considered high risk? Also, I have read in British journals that there is some concern cataracts can be caused by the surgery. Has anyone experienced this outcome?

Check out this article. It speaks of grading of the angle closure.

Hi! I was wondering if you went ahead with the iridotomy? I’m also in the same boat and have been doing my research.
