Hi Jiggle, (what is your name? hehe)… I like Jiggle though.
I understand completely. I have extremely severe dry eye (MGD), and was dealing with that. Then, just within the past year or less I started experiencing a pressure feeling in my eye BALLS. As a head ache sufferer, I know the difference between a head ache that causes eye pain versus the pressure feeling in my eye balls. I’ve never had high pressure numbers. They always fluctuate from 12 to 18, so that has not been a problem. And for the most part, I see just fine. Anyhoo, my doctor took a closer look at my eye and suddenly said, “ you know your body”, you have VERY narrow angles. Thank you so much for introducing me to yet another scary sounding issue. Yeh, BLAH!!! So I researched this and went ahead with this Yag Laser Iridotomy. Only after the placement she chose (I never read about placement - she did 9 o’clock) I started reading about that. I have only so far had my right eye done. Going back in Feb. for the left. Anyhoo, I still have slightly blurred vision and my pupil is not quite back to normal size although improving. I had this done 3 days ago. Just wanted to share my so far experience. I am very confident in my doctor. She is very understanding and appears also extremely competent. She also performed an Amniograft on both my eyes last year. It hasn’t cure my problem but got rid of theses yucky blobby looking things in the corner of my eyes. I’ll let you know my progress. My eye is also slightly sore, but I would expect that.
Talk soon and Happy New Year!

Glad to hear things went well for you. I still notice the dysphotopsia in right eye at times but it is not very bothersome.
