Laser iridotomy for Glaucoma

If you are having headache/ heaviness in morning/ watering eyes, these are symptoms of glaucoma & you will have higher eye pressure during the period of headache but by the time you visit the doctor, pressure will be normal

This is very early stage glaucoma & all the test for glaucoma will be normal as no damage to optic nerve has occurred 

Glaucoma eye drops will relieve you of your symptoms but glaucoma will keep on progressing 

You need to undergo laser iridotomy which will increase the size of aqueous outflow pathway & cure your glaucoma forever. You need to do it at very early stage when eye pressure are normal. Once pressure is high, more than 3/4 th of the angle is already closed & will need to put eye drops for the rest of your life
