I'm getting laser iridotomy. Is there anything I should know?
Your ophthalmologist. Ask your surgeon! this is one area that laser treatment is fabulous for, and ophthalmologists have extensive laser training (i'm a plastic surgeon, but my dad was an optometrist, and my sister is a board-certified ophthalmologist.) in expert hands you should do splendidly. Good luck!
