Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.

Narrow angle glaucoma can get precipitated to become acute congestive glaucoma. This can be dangerous and can cause diminution of vision, painful eye...
Hence you need to get laser iridotomy to prevent precipitation of acute attack.

Hope this answers your question.

Thank you
