Q. Increased intraocular pressure in both the eyes. Should I go for Laser Peripheral Iridotomy surgery(LPI)?

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query at icliniq.com.

• It seems from the history that you are having increased intraocular pressure in both the eyes, the normal is 14-16 mmHg and you are having 24 and 23 mmHg.

• Hence we should suspect glaucoma.

• In one of the sub type of glaucoma called as narrow angle glaucoma the anterior chamber will be shallow and dilating pupil can cause angle closure and resulting in angle closure glaucoma.

• Hence your doctor has told not to dilate the pupil.

• The treatment for angle closure glaucoma is prophylactic laser iridotomy.

• Hence he has advised you to undergo laser iridotomy.

Hence I advise you to consult an eyecare ophthalmologist online for treatment accordingly --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/eye-care-ophthalmologist

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
