I can relate to the pain and the visual problems (but my visual problems are not where near as bad as yours). I had an iridotomy done on both eyes on July 24 this year. I had no problems with the left eye. But my right eye is an entire different story. Starting from the first laser, the pain was unbearable and I suddenly endured eye pain and headaches on my right side only 10/10. I had severe pain on my eyebrow bone and the inside corner next to my nose. I also had very bad light issues. All 3 issues still remain today. The light issues are quite a bit better now but not gone (it's like the vertical light glare in a window when I blink). And the right eye pain and headaches on right side have dropped from a 10/10 to anywhere from a 3/10 to an 8/10. My pain and headaches trigger to the high levels when I'm outside even though I wear sunglasses. Or even when I'm stressed, do light yard work or light house work. My family doctor believes me and is trying to find a very good ophthalmologist to get a second opinion on the eye pain and headaches.
