Laser iridotomy: What should I expect?

Posted by pattir1234 @pattir1234, Feb 27, 2019

Hi. I am scheduled to have a laser iridotomy procedure done next month and I was wondering if I could hear experiences that other people have had. Thank you.

Hi @pattir1234 and welcome to Connect. I think you will learn a lot from @jigglejaws94 regarding laser peripheral iridotomy. See this discussion:

Patti, what questions or concerns do you have?

Hi there. I guess I am just wondering how painful the laser part is and usually how many lasers does it take? I have green eyes. Thank you.
