Thank you @hopeful33250 for bringing me in to the conversation.

Hello @mandalaythu. Thank you for posting about your experience with Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI). Was this procedure done to treat or prevent your closed angle glaucoma?

I'm sorry to hear that you are still having vision problems and sensitivity to light. You must be quite frustrated. I have not received corneal tattooing, however have received corneal transplants and had YAG laser surgery for secondary cataracts, after having my first cataract surgeries.

I understand your concerns and what its like to live with vision problems and light sensitivities. In my case, my vision has thankfully been restored, but my photophobia and sensitizations remain from a chronic pain syndrome called Central Sensitization Syndrome.

It appears corneal tattooing has mixed reviews. Have you sought a second opinion on this procedure?

Hello @rwinney
Thank you for your reply. LPI was done to prevent Angle Closure Glaucoma. I just went to see my doctor for annual checkup, but I was diagnosed with ACG. Then I had to do LPI in a few weeks. Ever since I am having vision problems. Yes, I went to see another ophthalmologist to get 2nd opinion, but he wasn't quite sure if there will be complications after corneal tattooing since none of his patient hasn't gone through this procedure yet. I am in hopeless situation. I worst things is I cannot work since I cannot look at the white papers.
Are there any reviews on corneal tattooing I can read?

How long is a peripheral cornea tattoo to block out light supposed to last ?
