After Iridotomy - eye pain and headaches 2 months later

I hope that you will find a great glaucoma eye surgeon to at least consult with, so that they can tell you what is going on and if it can be helped. The patient who said his Iris was fixed by a Glaucoma Surgeon, was from Canada. I came across a video on Youtube since I was looking into Phacoemulsification / Clear Lens Exchange CLE as a possibility if not now, then maybe in the future if I need to do something. I found the video impressive. It was by a surgeon who now works in Canada, named Dr. Ike Ahmed. So I looked up more on him to get some patient reviews. Most were positive. I don't know this doctor or area, but you can see how a glaucoma surgeon may be able to help. The one I am seeing in 4 months is not a glaucoma specialist. Hopefully I won't need one, but if I do, I would probably go for a consult to Bascom Palmer Eye Institute-University of Miami Hospital
These are the ratings on him that I looked up: (The man with the damaged Iris is the 10th review down I think)

This is the video I had come across by this surgeon

What a small world! I already called the Bascom Palmer Institute. They have another one in Florida that is closer to me but that location said it was closed for construction. I do need to get this repaired. Finding one to trust is my biggest issue. Most everyone I have seen never listens or cares. If you look clean and can walk they think you are just fine.
Thanks again for sharing. Keep me posted on what another dr says. My report said no sign of glaucoma at all. No high pressure either. I am guessing that this is just another thing drs do for money that is just not necessary. Like all other things they try and force on us for “our health”.
