Has anyone ever heard that far sighted people have a risk for a different kind of glaucoma that can strike suddenly? I went to the eye doctor today and he said that the way far sighted people’s eyes are built the kind of glaucoma they can get can be sudden as the iris can be pushed up to block the fluid drain and the fluid will then build up fast. He wants to laser a hole in my iris to allow fluid to reach the drain as a preventive measure as my iris is already pushed forward despite my having normal eye pressure. Has anyone had this done. It sounds a little scary.
The doc says it is a simple procedure and no big deal.
