Had this procedure done today. The doctor put in eye drops to make the pupil a lot smaller. After half an hour she put in eye drops to numb the eye, then she carried out the treatment. I sat in a char with my chin on the apparatus (like you do for an eye test). She told me that it would feel like an elastic band hitting my eye, and that is exactly what it felt like. The machine clicked a few times to fire the laser, and each time I felt a very slight pressure, but it wasn’t really painful. I went away for an hour and had a coffee. When I came back, she checked my eyes and made an appointment for me to go back in a week. She also gave my eye drops that I have to use in both eyes six times a day. I can honestly say, the only real pain I experienced was a light headache after she put the pupil constricting eye drops in, but the pain soon went away. The laser hitting my eye was just like a little bit of pressure- easily tolerable. I hope I have alleviated any anxiety anyone has, who is going in for this treatment. I had it done this morning, and I am totally fine.
A.CAndeliz No pain whatsoever. To be honest, I never really had any pain after the surgery. They gave me dexamethasone eye drops to use six times a day for a couple of days, and they were stingy for a couple of seconds after application, but apart from that I have no pain at all. The surgery seems to have been successful, and I have to go back in three months for a check up. Hope this helps.
chriskeenan1 Thank you for the update! I was asking just for curiosity. I don't suffer from this (as far as I know, but who knows? lol), and I wanted to ask because it seems like a painful and kind of scary procedure. Thanks again,and expect another comment from me in like 3 months lolz
Hi. I did this day before yesterday and I completely echo my experience with you. I have a slight irritation in both eye like a tiny grain of salt stuck in but I can see normally. I don’t feel any different but I guess it’s too early. How do you feel now. Can you feel less pressure since it’s been a week?
Kuldeep Sharma Yeah, it’s fine now. No pain and no feeling of pressure. Just feels normal now. Hope you continue to improve. I’m sure you will. Good luck.
Had this surgery yesterday, and spent the evening in excruciating pain. I was not informed about the level of pain I would experience after the surgery. After taking a heavy dose of acetaminophen, the pain eased enough for me to sleep. Upon opening my eyes this morning, the pain had minimized to a dull ache. I believe the ache will subsided in the coming days. I was not given any eye drops to use following the surgery. If you have this surgery scheduled, ask questions about the pain level that would be experienced after the numbing drops wear off.
Just had this done this week in preparation for an ICL and I also had excruciating pain. It’s was totally intolerable. The pain was better the next day but I couldn’t open my eyes comfortable for 2 days after. Now I’m 4 days out and things are better, but vision is still blurry and I have big streaks of light when looking at something bright. I was told the whole thing would be quick and close to painless but it has been everything but.
Find the best ophthalmologist before getting ANY procedure or surgery! I had a laser iridotomy today and felt nothing, and now my eye feels mildly scratchy. I went to a top notch doctor and would not trust just anyone!
You couldn't had this surgery because every Doctor on earth would have given you steroid eye drops after this procedure. This procedure is not the least bit painful.
I already had this on my right eye. It's fast and painless .. after laser only a little pain tolerable ..I have antibiotic/antiinflammatory drops after the procedure...I'm totally fine
I had one earlier today-- (had cataract surgery Sept,8th, and VITRECTOMY at the same time... and this process today. He bagan by trying to put a cuping device against my eye- and i was squirming a bit- and the nurse asked- "is it just pressure or uncomfortable"-- I said- uncomfortable HELL-- it HURTS.. He asked if she gave me something started with I, but I can't remember what as they DID numb it.. and she said NO- and he told her that was very important. She took me BACK to the PREP room and gave me p drops (started with prepercane sounded like) and it got number- and she took me back and he did it-- and all I felt was pressure at that point- and the little 'tick tick' sounds with a quick "tap" feel of something- no pain then. That was 3 horus ago- and it's easing off-- but it ACHED-- not a sharp pain- just achey. I'm NOT one that is a wimp at pain-- I was actually mashed between two trucks in 99 and was OUT walking around in 2 weeks when docs told me I'd be DEAD... so pain I can handle-- but THAT got me today.. a bit more than I wanted!! HOWEVER-- if you get the proper stuff before it starts-- there was nothing but "pressure" at that point.
I have massive glare at the bottom since the procedure was taken place. My doctor said before the procedure that there would be no downside of this procedure. . My life is totally runnied because this effect comes into place when i am working in front of my computer. I will go back to the hospital to complain about my issues. I am hoping they will find a soultion.

Hello, my Iridotomy took place in Europe, and I wanted to share my experience on a forum like this. During my hospital visit for eye checks, I received some concerning news. Both suturing and replacing the hole, or tattooing, have a poor cost-benefit ratio and are considered highly invasive procedures. Additionally, the latter option is not available in my country. I can provide more details if you're interested, but essentially, I am experiencing the visibility of two or even more linear white lines at the bottom of my sight. @@sharphealthcare
I'm getting my eye done today i love my eyes an i want get another pair of eyes. My second eye will be done on February 7th. After each eye i have an appt for postop.. I have places to go people to see an things to do an I need my 👀 eyes to make these things happen.
Had this done today, was very worried, but it all went very well. Hardly any pain 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,
I have congenital Oklahoma. I want to say they did my surgery either when I was four or six. I’ve had to have so many surgeries I don’t remember lol. The procedure is worked wonders. The only time my eye pressure ever got above like 12 was when I had a cataract. It was like 30 then .. my lens literally ruptured. But once they took the lens out and cleaned up where the cataract was I haven’t had issues with pressure.
Had one done on each eye June/July 2018...Narrow angle glaucoma but now see a weird thing in my left eye...my eye seems like it was cut? weird thing only see in bright light...also mention is there any link between tooth/gum disease and glaucoma? Can untreated cavities for years lead to eye problems? Hmm
@@ambrosia1917 Both eyes in the top part of the iris. The second hole in left eye was done at an angle after I reported the line that had appeared in my vision in the right (which moves with my eyelid movements indicating it is light being diffracted through the eyelashes).

due to glucoma 98 % vision lossed. but pressure of eye is heigh. one Dr. suggested that one eye injection is given and after that lesser is done. but another Dr. suggested that no eye injection is given. some eye drop added and after 6 to 7 days only lesser karge. because some time due eye (IVI) injection cause increases the pressure thats why only lesser is doing. I don't understand which Dr. is write. name Eye injection doesn't show. In screening of eye swelling and blood spots is seen.
Be careful about this surgery. Ask about all the side effects before going ahead with it. I had it done about two years ago, and I still see two fluorescent white lines in both eyes. They are very annoying. (My doctor did not tell me about the side effects before the surgery. After I told him about the white lines, he said they would be gone after several months. But two years later, they are still there. )
I'm really sorry to hear about that. I hope the lines somehow clear up. I kinda know how to feel as I had a laser iridotomy done two months ago, and now I see "ghost images" whenever I look at something bright when the surroundings are darker. For example, when I look at a street light at night, I see the actual light, but in addition I see a light slightly to the right and another to the left. These images are very annoying. Doc said I would stop noticing them after a couple weeks, but they are still here, and they don't seem like they are going anywhere. I knew there was a risk of this happening before I got the iridotomy, but I let my doctor talk me into going ahead with it. To anyone reading this: KNOW THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROCEDURE BEFORE GOING AHEAD WITH IT!
@cruise lover Mine lied to me about the procedure . Said it'll only be a little blurred vision fur a few hours and nothing more. I have the white lines, hazy blurry vision, a glare that it's blinding when i look at light plus halos around any light source . I can not go outside during the day without getting a raging headache after a few minutes of being out there. I cant handle day light outside at all anymore. Double vision . The list goes on.

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.
This is very misleading. You can have an open drainage angle and still have drainage problems due to the trabecular mess work not draining properly. In this case a hole is not made in the Iris but in the Trabecular mess work. So, Laser Iridotomy can have different functions according to the type of drainage problem one might have. You should have included this in your video.

Hi Rajneet,
If you need assistance in finding a doctor for your father, please call 1-800-827-4277 and speak to a physician referral nurse.
Thank you,

I’m having this done next month. Super nervous. I have no pain now but they said it’s very narrow. Glad to see it’s not too painful.
sorry did you have eye surgery and how was and how it is now if you did ,thanks
No I haven’t done it yet. I am still afraid to get a procedure done with Covid still bad out there. I will do it when it calms down a bit.
@@Brenda0531 thanks..well i went today and i read alot of bad reviews regarding that surgery and sounds so scary and easy to get permanent damage to eye ,even permanent loss vision ..so i dont know what i will do...good luck to you if you will go
Unfortunately our treating ophthalmologist is a bully and gives no explanation. The head of department is even worse. Take care everyone and keep your stress levels low. Stress is a major factor.
Hello Marie,
We are concerned about your comment, and we would like to learn more. If your ophthalmologist is with Sharp, please send your name, phone number and the review link to feedback@sharp.com.
Thank you,
Lesley
Prevent this by continuous exercise program, a good nutritious diet, a quality fish oil pill.
