I have had the diagnosis of glaucoma since 2022. Have been avoiding laser surgery but now my ophthalmologist is too scared to dilate my eyes because of possibility of me developing acute angular glaucoma (or whatever it’s called—I’m sure I’m using the wrong terminology lol sorry about that).
The worst my IOP has been was 25 / 27, which isn’t that bad. With latanoprost it’s been averaging 15 / 17. But I’m getting the laser surgery next month because, even though it’s very mild right now, due to my iris shape anything could happen.
Getting an iridoplasty and I’m so scared. I’m an artist. My eyes are so important. Please, if anyone has had this procedure, share your experiences? I’ve been crying ever since I scheduled the appointments. I just want to make the right decision
