Well the time has finally arrived for my iridotomy on both eyes this afternoon .

I feel ok about it, a bit nervous obviously , just hoping 🤞🏻I don’t get any of the visual side effects like ghosting , lines and glare .

Wish hubby could come in with me though for company .

Hope everyone is doing ok x

It's a shame your husband can't go in with you but I agree with Wales I have always found the nurses lovely x

Good luck. All will be well I’m sure. I know- it’s horrible going in on your own but the nurses are lovely & will look after you. Xx

Good luck. Don't be worried if you get the glare and lines. I had this and was quite disturbed by it but after several weeks they disappeared.

I had my iridotomies 27 years ago - and like Sunshine I`m still going strong too. Straightforward procedure.

All the best.

Hope all went well. I was fortunate mine were both done during emergency department visit so I hadn’t time to think about it. No side effects fromMemory. Wishing you well x
