@kwgriff There are different laser procedures. Iridotomy just cuts a small hole in the Iris to provide better flow. Select Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) works on the drainage network. Micropulse laser works on the ciliary body that produces the aqueous fluid.

The Micropulse laser and drops worked for me.

They are painless and quick. They can be repeated if necessary.

@carmine100 Thanks for this information. I had the iridotomy.

Are the other two procedures available for narrow-angle glaucoma?

With the micropulse laser, do you still have to take drops every day for the rest of your life?
