Hi @mac2018, welcome. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about laser peripheral iridotomy, so that you can meet others who have had this procedure.

Glad to read your positive experience with the laser procedure - it eased my nerves a bit! I am scheduled for laser on my secondary cataract later this month. It developed quite soon after cataract surgery, and have been a little nervous about having the laser treatment. Thank you lioness, I felt better after reading your post. Have been doing some research about how its done, and sounds quick, uncomplicated and simple - I will find out for myself for sure in a few weeks!
@cherriann your welcome nothing to worry about The Dr told me it wasn't unusual to get tags left been nd and they just are lasered of I went to lunch right afterwards.

@jkres007 Your welcome and I feel you fear your right in not to rush into it . I never had laser except to clean up my eyes from cataract surgery . That was no problem but in your case I want it to be right .
@jkres007 I agree when a Dr cant take the time to explain to you and they are in such a hurry it does make you question them let me know when you have other opinions Good luck hopefully another Dr will have something better to say fingers crossed for you
Thank you! I am. I went for my normal annual exam on Dec 14th and saw a glaucoma specialist on Jan 2. He was so quick and just casually was like “yeah so we’ll schedule you for surgery.” I understand that they know what they’re looking at, but I’m thinking that they’re just so quick to say you need surgery. I’m not sure.

@wantingtoknow With everything on here saying about the MD,s its probably a good idea about eye Dr,s get a 2nd and 3rd opinion are eyes are so important to us . I would if this was me .
I agree with you! I’m 34 and I’m worried that a laser is going to impact my vision for the rest of my life. I’ve been reading so many forums online (like this one) that say that people are having huge visual issues due to the placement of the hole. Why aren’t more drs looking at this? It’s terrifying.
