@carmine100 I agree! I'm the type to research and research and research about stuff like this because I want to know what's happening in my body and why. I had the iridotomy done two weeks ago and my pressure at Friday's appointment was 12 and 13mm; I'm happy I had it done.

Are there any other things I might have happen to my eyes as a result of this down the road? The doctor made it seem like I have the surgery and then put drops in for the rest of my life. Is it really THAT easy?

@kwgriff For some people a simple laser does it. It might not be a permanent cure so you have to do a pressure check often. Ask what the next step is if the pressure rises. Research all the next steps so you can make a good decision if you have to.

I saw my retina specialist in January and everything was stable. I saw her again in June and I had macula edema which explained my recent issues with fine print. I got a shot of Elyea in the eye and that reversed it. The second was last week and the third next month.

You have to watch for anything new and act on it.
