Three weeks after iridotomy my narrow angles are grade 3 opened from grade 1. Can they open more in next few weeks?

Hi Bess. That's good to hear that the iridotomy has been a success. I would say that it is unlikely that the angles will open any further, but I'm not 100% sure. This isn't anything to worry about though , as your consultant will likely monitor you going forward depending on your eye pressure etc. There is further treatment for narrow angles if needed later down the line.

Not what you're looking for?
