This was very helpful. I have Narrow Angle Glaucoma and am seeing an ophthalmologist in June to be assessed for Laser Iridotomy. My eye dr said the ophthalmologist can monitor its progression but I think I just want to get it done. The thought of going blind scares the F outta me.

[lindseyabell]

This happened to me! It was scary, now that I could see again watching an explanation about this is really interesting.

To anyone studying this to be an eye doctor, you’re doing great! The eye doctors helped me get my vision back and I am forever thankful

My eye doctor suggested the Laser surgery done. He didn't want to dilate my eye due to potential angle closure. I got the surgery done. In my last eye exam, Eye Doctor was able to dilate
