@wantingtoknow I'm guessing the reason that he wants to do the iridotomy is because your angles are becoming more narrow? I do know have glaucoma but I do have narrow angles. Two years ago, mine suddenly got worse over a 4 month period and so he strongly suggested peripheral iridotomy. It is my understanding that if you have complete closure of the angles, you have a very short window of time to get treatment before you face the risk of losing your vision. Because I live 2 hours away from the ophthalmologist, I opted to go ahead with the procedure, one eye at a time. If you decide to pursue this, my one caution would be to do your homework on the position of the iridotomy. My first one was at the 12 o'clock position and it left me with a dysphotopsia. The second was done at a temporal position. See my above posts for more detailed info about that.

@wantingtoknow Hi Lioness here Im 76 now I tell you this as in my 30,s I was told I had narrow open glucoma the Dr put me on drops My pressure was always good like yours ,then after several years on the Timoptic drops he took me of as my pressure stayed the same About a year ago my pressure for the first time was 20/24 Dr gave me drops a year later my pressure was back in the teens again ,she told me I could go of or stay on???? If I remember I,ll use the drops but at my age I have macular degeneration now. I would suggest you go for another opinion and see what the Dr says This is just what happened to me. Good luck.
