After Iridotomy - eye pain and headaches 2 months later

Wow! I am reading all of the feedback regarding the after effects from the LPI surgery and this has me very concerned. Two eye doctors (board certified) told me to get the LPI surgery due to having narrow angles in both of my eyes.

I am 46 years old. My vision is fine right now (I wear glasses to see everything). I remember years ago I did see halos around street lights in the morning on my way to work at 6am, but that hasn't happened in 2 years. My eyes are sensitive to the sunlight, but I live in the sunshine state of Florida where it is always bright. I do get bad migraines every month, but I don't think it is from my eyes since it stems from my neck and back of head on my right side every time.

I am now questioning if I should get the LPI surgery? What does the laser pain feel like when it zaps your eyeball on a pain scale from 1-10?

@mcr779 I’m in the same boat. My ophthalmologist seems confident the laser surgery will go well bout said we start with one eye only. It is scary. I don’t know what percent of theis type of surgery ends up with troubling complications.
