Welcome, @gwenr @mgtbren and @karen888. It sounds like all three of you are experiencing headaches after laser iridotomy. I can imagine that is quite unsettling - to say the least. Has anyone raised this unwanted side effect with their ophthalmologist?

Yes. He checked my eye pressure, which was 17 at the time. Gave me soothing eye drops, but had no explanation of the pain and headache. Two weeks later and I STILL have headaches and pain in my eye. Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm quite worried

I have a pain on the opposite side. He said he has no idea what it can be and suggested allergies. I'm going to my ENT in a couple of weeks and will demand an MRI . The pain is excruciating. I had no problem when I had the left eye done, and did not feel a thing. Three weeks ago when I had the right eye done, the pain I felt on the right side of my head was excruciating. Now I feel constant pain on the left side and sometimes all over my head. I think this surgery is a big money maker
