Advice needed please

Hi to anyone reading. I’m trying to finds some answers online but struggling. In a routine eye test in June 17 the optician picked up that I have very narrow angles in both eyes along with high pressures. I was referred to have a YAG iridotomy in both eyes which was done and my follow up everything seemed ok. I had another routine eye test yesterday and my pressures are up again. I’m seeing the eye specialist in a couple of weeks but wondered what will happen next? More iridotomies?

Has anyone else had iridotomies and high pressures so long after the procedure?

Thank you in advance for reading and replying

I had high inter ocular pressure and was given eye drops to reduce it which worked. This was when I was on between 15 and 20 mg of Prednisone. I am now on just 3mg of Prednisone. My Opthomologist stopped the eye drops 2 months ago to see what would happen. My eye pressure raised again very slightly so I have agreed to give it another six months before measuring again. I think the higher the dose of Prednisone the higher likelihood of developing the high pressure
