"The hole will not affect your vision." Not always true - It is essentially a second pupil that creates debilitating glare in many patients. That's what happened to me.
@@surgeonb7242 That is exactly where the iridotomy was done on my eyes. The glare is not present when the holes are completely covered by my eyelids. It is when I move my eyelids (which we all do regularly) that the glare presents itself.
@@rishabhdatta6991 No. I do not want to risk any further damage an additional procedure might do to my eyes or vision. Also, suturing the iris would defeat the purpose of the iridotomy if you had it originally done for angle closure glaucoma - I think most people would get either corneal tattoos or contacts with colored edges to treat the glare.
I am thinking about suturing the hole as I have massive disphotopsya since the procedure was made. If you go and search a little bit, you will see that that placing the hole to the temporal (3 and 9 hour) position shouldn't cause (the chance is way more less)any linear disphotopsya instead the 12. Mine was placed to superior. I had problems when my pupil was fully dilated for many hours that's why they did. I don't have angle closure glaucoma. But if the hole is necessary I am thinking about to replace it to temporal which is recommended by most of the doctors. Many articles says on the internet that suturing was successfully made for may patients without any complications.
@@matdenstickers6873 yes, it lowers the Pressure substantially since the excess liquid is drained out thru the laser hole. The specialist will advise you if its clogged or closing so it can be re-lasered.
How are you now? Do you still see the vertical lines? Where did the doctor laser your eyes, on top or on the side? I hope your vision gets better. I am scared to do the laser.
@@ht6035 It's worse, as I mentioned in another channel. As spring begins, I'm experiencing headaches because of the sunlight. My vision remains the same. I will try special contact lenses to filter out this side effect and see how it works. I've already tried colored lenses, but they only provided minimal improvement; however, on the other hand, I experienced tunnel vision and blurry vision as well. If this solution doesn't work, there is a chance I may need a suture on my iris. Mine was placed on the top. Where are they planning to place yours? Based on the doctor's and patients' experiences, only a few people suffer from this effect. Most doctors recommend the side placement, and some even measure the location with a special procedure.
@@ht6035 I'm puzzled as to why my previous messages didn't show up. Just to reiterate, my vision hasn't improved, and I'm considering closing my eyes. On top of that, I've been experiencing headaches when exposed to sunlight outdoors.
Had it done both eyes, and the left side twice. Painless, quick and no side effects.
Had both eyes done twice.....most horrible pain like pebbles being shot into open eyes. Shudder. Once the lazar stops, the pain is finished.
I'm having my left done in February, and right two weeks later

not if it was done at 11 or 1 o'clock because your eyelid will protect you from that

best vid 💙
When can we wash eyes after this treatment please?
Wondering how the laser beams are not affecting the corneal layers!
Probably it is focused to the iris area and the beam is not strong enough to alter your cornea. Same as you intensify the light with a magnifier.
Cant affect ur vision?after my laser iridotomy may vision is blurred..
Is your vision still blurred?
Had it done both eyes Twice.
@Jamila Bouzegaoui No,, no pain.
Painful?
How much it cost... Can it maintain the eye presure
@@matdenstickers6873 covered by Insurance since it's a Medical Issue. I only paid the Co-Pay. BUT I think Out-of-pocket its $500 + - per Eye.

Since the procedure had been done my life was totally ruined. I can see 4 vertical lines since than. :(
