Babyholder, I'm sorry to hear that the laser surgery worsened your vision and caused additional symptoms.

What is being done to help improve your vision? What type of glaucoma do you have?

Thank you so much Colleen. Nothing is being done to help improve my vision. Before the LPI, I only needed reading glasses for reading, etc. Now, both my near and far vision are worse off, and I’m suffering from miserable side effects. My eyes may eventually adjust to the bilateral white lines, but the spotty vision in my left eye and the extreme eye fatigue and light sensitivity along with bilateral eye pain are hard to deal with. I’m considering the use of tinted contacts to see if they will help ‘mask’ the linear dysphotopsia, and as a last resort, I’m researching the possibility of getting the holes sutured. I just wish I could talk to someone who has had their iridotomies closed up. Is there a way I can post a question to other folks who have had LPIs and have or are experiencing the same symptoms as I have…the way @jigglesaw94 did on 9/25/16? Thanks so much for reading this long winded reply.
