I had the laser iridology done in April of 2021 by Midwest eye center.

I was told I had narrow canals in my eyes. Weird because no one has ever mentioned it before and I have been to eye doctors many times for dry eyes.

Suddenly I have narrow canals?

Was told I needed the surgery to prevent glaucoma or I could go blind. My eye pressure was low and I had no real vision issues at all. Vision was good. I did have dry eyes issues however..

Was told the procedure was necessary. I asked repeatedly if the procedure would affect my vision. I was told it would not affect my
vision at all.

But that was a LIE!!! My vision was affected. I have a constant white light in my eyes. I feel like I am looking over a white cotton ball all the time. It’s much worse outside.

I am furious about it and it has really affected me a lot.

I go back and tell them and then am told that it’s rare that it happens. Wow!! Now I’m told.

While I’m there I hear a patient in next room being told exact same thing. Makes me wonder if this is being done to patients who really do not need this procedure. I have never been told I had this problem by any other eye doctor.

Beware of this procedure if you do not really need it. It can affect your vision.

I should have researched it. Once again I trusted a doctor that has now injured me and caused me permanent damage. I’m furious.

@frustrated915 I understand you being furious. Vision is a precious thing that isn't fully understood until its jeopardized. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience. Have you moved on to seek another opinion for possible restoration of your visual disturbances? Perhaps a teaching institution or renowned medical center?

I totally feel your pain. I had bilateral LPI‘s done in December, and I am absolutely miserable. Never had an issue with my eyes or vision, and now I do. I have constant white lines bilaterally and my left eye has very blotchy and spotty vision. I wake up with bloodshot eyes and I experience headaches and pain. By 1 PM, my eyes and brain are extremely tired. I think my brain is trying to overcompensate for the disturbances in my eyes. Please let me know if you end up consulting anyone or getting a Corneal tattoo.
