I consider it a good thing that I had it done. Knowing that I have a "relief valve" so to speak, is comforting. I live 2 hours away from my ophthalmologist and that was one of the considerations. He said that if the pressure spikes suddenly that if you do not receive treatment within an hour, you may lose vision in that eye. So worth it then, to me.

I understand how that is comforting. What was your symptoms that prompted you to do this? Mine was intermittent feeling of pressure in my eye balls. I’m still getting it a bit here and there on the one eye that I had it done on. It’s got me bothered. I wonder if it just takes time for that “relief valve” to feel the effects of it doing its job? Did you ever get the other eye done?
