Iridotomy query?

So, I had my laser treatment for narrow angles and high pressures in both eyes earlier today.The left eye was not completely successful due to the pigmentation.

However, it was OK after a second round.

I have now been put on Predforte for 9 days, I just wondered is this is a usual thing for this to be prescribed also Latanoprost. ?

Hi

Pred Forte is a steroid to reduce inflammation. They often prescribe it following surgical treatments.

Latanoprost to reduce pressure. Maybe in case the steroid ups the pressure - or maybe as a back up?
