@hsantos435 I did get a second opinion and that doctor confirmed I have grade 2 angles and said I would “probably” be OK to wait but told me that if I got a stabbing pain in my eye, I needed to go to the emergency room immediately and that I could go blind in 1-2 hours. Because I travel a lot, it seemed too risky to wait and I knew I would always be worried about it when traveling so I decided to have it done. It seems like most doctors do one eye at at time, so I would ask your doctor why he wants to do both at the same time. I hope that helps!

I am scheduled this Thursday, Dec 1 2022 and as I read all the comments here, majority is negative and so little positive 🙁 It terrifies me more and more. I even saw a post somewhere where they said this laser iridotomy is a biggest scam and Doctor's are performing this procedure left and right $$$. I know we have to trust our Doctors but GOD help us if they are lying!!!
