Thank you. I will update even though it is a 4 month wait. I was reading that after Iridotomy, people have to be checked regularly to ensure that the holes don't close up on them. In your case, I hope they do. You likely don't need them anymore now that you have had cataract surgery. Your cataract surgery likely will protect you from progressing to glaucoma since now you don't have to worry about your lens growing and narrowing the angles further and further.
The surgery also likely widened your angles - also protective for your future.

I am wondering why you have depth perception and balance problems though ?? Did the Iridotomy affect your visual acuity to where it is hard for you to see the curb or steps or bumps in the sidewalks that you are walking on?

Yes. After the LPI was when all my balance and depth perception issues started. It started immediately after, so it was not a coincidence like one dr told said to me. It has been 4 years since mine was done and they have not closed up. I also think people with auto immune issues like I do will fare worse.

The dr did 7 laser shots in each eye.
