small eyey

[Sufitzy]

I don’t look like my eyes are normal size but the consultant says they are small, not deep and short ???

Says cataract op would be difficult when the time comes . Says further laser surgery not possible.

has anyone else been told this ?

I worries me for the future

It is difficult to comment without some more details. Everyone is different, but it could be due to the type of glaucoma you have, or the length of your eye. I am not sure which laser treatment you have had or the type of glaucoma you have. If it was me, I would ask for more of an explanation at your next appointment about what they mean and why you are not eligible for further laser surgery.

My consultant is always telling me that my eyes are small and deep set! This apparently makes them very difficult to work on when I have surgery (doesn’t do much for my self esteem either lol!) Having said that he has carried out numerous procedures successfully. I doubt very much that small eyes would make it impossible to have laser surgery in the future but there may well be other reasons that this is not the best option for you. A good eye surgeon will make things work for your eyes even if they are more difficult to work with.
