I had exactly the same procedure in Aug. it went smoothly with no discomfort. I am indebted to Michael Kanner of Miami. It went exactly as explained in the video. Jacqueline Brown, Aventura, Fla.

Did they ever diagnosis your with Glaucoma??? My doctor mentioned narrow angles at my last visit and I’m scared to death!

Had this done today, was worried beforehand but shouldn’t have been, it all went very well. Hardly any discomfort and no complications. I read all the risks online and you get carried away with it, whereas most studies say these are rare. The hole is tiny and covered by my eyelid. I was having slight pain in the eye and it’s now gone. Now the pupil dilating drops have worn off, my vision is perfect after just two hours.

I'm glad this video came up because I'm having an iridotomy in a few days. The 2nd eye will be done the following week. I feel more at ease about it now. When I'm finished and my ophthalmologist checks I hope my eye is still there, LOL. (3:43)

How did it go for you??? I may end up having it but won’t find out until a October. Did they diagnose you with Glaucoma or tell you why you needed it?

@@fireypeach Everything went fine. I was diagnosed with glaucome and told why I needed the iridotomy . The iridotomy itself only took a few seconds and in my right eye it felt like a rubberband snap that only lasted a fraction of a second. When the left eye was done I could feel something being done to my eye but there wasn't a rubberband snap type feeling. It didn't affect my sight in anyway but it took away the terrible achy feeling I was experiencing around my eyes before. Not everyone get that achy feeling though.

I just had it done today, it feels like your getting a rubber band snapped into your eyeball! It does feel very uncomfortable. Three snaps in each eye. My eyes were extremely sore, tender and teary for about six hours after. Im glad it’s over!

@@laylarose4162 thank you! I was diagnosed with lazy eye on the right when I was a child. I’m farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other. My vision is so different in each eye that it baffles the eye techs! Lol. I guess I’ll find out in October if I will be referred for the procedure. If it’s preventive and he thinks I need it then I’m just going to tell him to refer me!

I am having this laser procedure not because of glaucoma but because of an ICL surgery to correct my -7.50 high myopia and astigmatism that will occur after this Iridotomy - I am nervous about this procedure, if something goes wrong I will not have the ICL and it would have been for nothing and my vision can even get worst that it is.
