I am sorry this happened to you. Your story is really getting to me and making me think twice. I had wondered if maybe the success rate of LPI was dependent on the skill of the surgeon, but it seems everywhere I read reviews, I only read regrets. We are all told the same thing - do it or go blind. Some people have narrow angles and never progress to glaucoma. The problem is that there are no predictors to say who will and who won't. I have given up all sugar and processed food and anything else that could raise my eye pressure. Under these circumstances, I found it surprisingly easy to do. We celebrated a birthday recently, and I found myself staring down at my piece of cake like it was arsenic.
The doctor did check me after dilation. I will make sure the next one checks me before, which is not something I had given any thought to.....thanks
You said that you had your cataracts removed. Did the replacement Intra Ocular Lens help at all to offset the side effects from the LPI?
