I'm glad to read your SLT's have been successful.

After SLT a person can become more light sensitive, or experience more dry eye, so wearing good wraparound antiglare glasses could help. Also dry eye drops can help to soothe and lubricate the eye. The pain you mention may be a combination of the 2.

Driving needs a lot of concentration and can sometimes cause headaches but not normally pain. If it persists, I would suggest you speak to your consultant or GP

Hi Trish thanks for your reply the pain is unbearable I've had for months yes dry eyes which I take artificial tears for but it something else I'm seeing someone this week hopefully she can solve the problem most days I think I can't take anymore and try to think of a way out! Silly I know but when your in pain you can't think straight glaucoma is a nightmare a true curse
