A member asked:

I had bleeding during iridotomy . laser wouldn't go through so was told to come back in two days. laser still wouldn't work so the doctor made opening in another area. he says the half opening is no problem. is this proper? can't any find info .

No problem: The spot he chose to make the first laser opening had an active blood vessel in the substance of the iris. This will heal and while the iris is a little thinner at that spot which will make no functional difference. He then opened another area in the usual manner which accomplishes the goal. Don't worry about the 1/2 hole which will cause no problem for you.
