After Iridotomy - eye pain and headaches 2 months later

Wow, you have had really bad luck with doctors.... I hope it won't stop you from seeking out someone who can help you.
I was looking up ratings on top ophthalmologists, with one being a well known glaucoma surgeon. In the patient reviews of him was this one man who said he had had his Iris damaged by his eye doctor where he lived. So he travelled to see this well known Glaucoma surgeon who ended up fixing his Iris to where he could now drive again and look into the sun once more. He did not say what procedure had ruined his Iris, but if he is seeing a "Glaucoma" specialist, maybe it was an iridotomy that did this. Did you ever get anyone else that has a big reputation, to check your eyes out for possible damage from the Iridotomy that may be reversible?..... or to check that the IOLs you had placed in your eyes, are not shifted and causing you some of the symptoms you have?
And that is a great idea to stay silent and see what the doc has to say.

Yes….I have had many terrible experiences. Too many to even list. It it sounds unbelievable, so I don’t mention it because people look at me like I’m crazy for having such bad luck so often.
Where was that specialist that fixed that guy’s Iris located? Do you know? I would travel to find someone that could fix my eyes if they had a great reputation. I would love to know what happened to that man whose Irish was damaged. I’m so beside myself every day with all these issues with my eyes that it’s really affecting me mentally to be honest. I’ve had such bad luck that I am very paranoid to even try though.
I hope that you get a second opinion soon, so it will relieve your mind. I know how these doctors can scare you because you don’t know whether to trust them or not. The best thing I can advise is also to trust your gut feelings as well. Every time I have went against my gut feelings I have regretted it. I actually went into cancel the hernia surgery because I did not feel right. I did not believe that dr. He came in and talked to me back into it and told me I was making a mistake if I canceled the surgery. On the LPI I also said no way am I going to do this if it has any chance of messing with my vision. I should’ve listened to my gut feeling because it cost me $40,000 out of my pocket to reverse that hernia surgery and I have scars and permanent damage from what he has done to me. My eyes will never be the same.
