Hello. Will try to keep short.... I live in Ontario Canada. Ten years ago I had some laser surgery in our small City and it was because of seeing flashing lights and the ophthalmologist never really explained it all to me and after I have floaters etc. in both eyes
2018 happened to be referred to another ophthalmologist for very red sore eyes where I live then saw a Head of Department eye doctor in Toronto who is very well known and smart and he dianozed narrow angle Glaucoma. A lot was gong on in my life then and put off having his recommended Iridotomy in 2020 but not in Toronto by him as could no longer travel the 4 hours each way.
BTW I got my adult daughter and husband to visit the same Optometrist as I had where I live and off he sent them both for Iridotomies.... saying it was "preventative" but did they really need them? I find many people are getting them done now as assurance for future but are they really necessary? Sort of like having appendix taken out if they happen to have your absomen open for other surgery!
Hope am not off topic but have a small question today: sore eyes, probably allergies or ? and am wondeirng if I can use VISINE RED EYE DROPS. The bottle says don't use if have Glaucoma but as i have had Iridotomy can I use it? I have emailed Visine but not sure if I will get a reply and my Optometrist doesn't seem particularly interested in me any more and now sends me to his partner for annual eye checks!
From reading comments, my thoughts are with you, so scary having these eye issues and looking back I wish I had somehow found a way to go back to the head of that eye department in Toronto as I feel he would have all the answers ... when things don't go as planned we need only the best!!
