Two months ago, I underwent Laser Iridotomy, and it has drastically impacted my life. I was diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma a decade ago and had regularly checked my angles, but no one mentioned that they were closed. The procedure became necessary when my eyes were fully dilated, and I experienced a blockage. Unfortunately, I received no information about the potential risks.

Since the procedure, I've noticed two very bothersome white lines instead of just one, as experienced by many others. The placement was at the 12-hour position, but shortly after the procedure, I researched and found that many doctors prefer a temporal placement to avoid such side effects. As I work extensively in front of the computer, this has further worsened my life. Additionally, I've started experiencing eye pain, which even strong painkillers have failed to alleviate.

I've attempted colored contact lenses, but even those with a ring around them provided limited relief and resulted in tunnel vision. Living in these conditions is challenging. How can I locate a surgeon willing to apply the McCannel suture to close the holes? I reside in Europe, so finding a suitable surgeon here would be preferable, but I am open to traveling overseas if necessary.
