Have your eye drops been changed? Maybe that will be next. Or a shunt operation. I suppose that I can only go by what has happened to me. Has your eye doctor said anything?

He wants me to have lens replacement I have immature cataracts. Plus mentioned another procedure but can't remember name. I have asthma and use monopost at night also dorzolamide twice a day. Hospital gave me iopidine to use few weeks has pressures went to 29 on 3oth December. I had iridotomy privately on 20th December. Not sure what next has don't think I can afford to carry on privately

I've just followed the same pathway. Had an iridotomy but it didn't bring the pressures down enough. Have just had cataract surgery (again the cataracts on their own wouldn't have warranted a cataract replacement) and goniosynechialysis- that may be what your consultant mentioned. Follow up tomorrow 🤞
