This is obviously still weighing on my mind. I'm seriously considering
rescheduling my iridotomies until I can talk to my Dr. in person again. A few
more questions, if you don't mind. Does anyone have any info on
(1) whether the halos are related to the size of your pupil?
(2) whether having an astigmatism like mine (somewhere around 2.4 D)increases
the likelihood of halos or other vision problems?
(3) whether there is any correlation between eye color and complications (I've
noticed a fair number of people have pointed out thet have dark eyes. I have
blue)
