Player iris syndrome how bead?

I’ve been diagnosed with plateau iris syndrome. I’ve had an iridotomy and the doctors has asked to see me annually to monitor me. My questions are:
1) will the iridotomy prevent an acute attack being as bad?
2) will I be blinde one day even with close monitoring?
3) I’ve got a lot of floaters after LPI, will these even rlly settle like my doctor told me?
4) does this mean I have glaucoma?

1.  Yes it usually prevents. Sometimes an additional procedure called iridoplasty needs to be done if the angle not open completely.  2.  No you will likely have good vision all your life with annual monitoring by competent Eye MD ophthalmologist  3. LPI not usually clause floaters.   Like most floaters would expect them to settle. 4. No it means your eye has plateau iris formation which can lead to glaucoma which is why it was treated.
