Dr. Hagan III:
I understand. You were very helpful and you did answered my main concerns regarding the LPI. Thank you very much.
Dear Kg17
Thank you for your comment. I hope you have solved your problem. I know that your case was more severe since it happened in both eyes. Keep in touch. I ll try to do the same.
Thank you.
The "droopy" lid can eliminate the "arc" by covering the iridotomy hole that is allowing the extra light to enter the eye. You can achieve the same effect by use of a dark-tinted cosmetic contact lens. If the iridotomy is excessively large (as in my case), you could opt to have the iridotomy hole sutured smaller (invasive surgery with risks).
I regret that I must end this discussion thread. You will need to get further information from your personal Eye MD or if you are "unhappy" then get a second opinion. I cannot answer all the questions as it is.
