Symptoms of Iridotomy
Common signs that you may need Iridotomy include persistent pain, discomfort, or symptoms that have not responded to non-surgical treatment. A surgeon can evaluate whether surgery is the right option for you.
How is Iridotomy Diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound), and sometimes blood tests. Your surgeon will review all reports before recommending Iridotomy.
Treatment Options: Non-Surgical vs Surgical
Depending on severity, doctors may first recommend non-surgical approaches such as medication or physiotherapy. If these are not effective, Iridotomy is advised.
How is Iridotomy Performed?
Iridotomy is typically performed under anaesthesia. The surgeon may use laparoscopic (minimally invasive) or open techniques depending on the case. The procedure usually takes 1–3 hours.
Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks after Iridotomy. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions including diet, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
Iridotomy Cost — What Affects the Price?
The cost of Iridotomy varies based on the hospital, city, surgeon experience, and whether the procedure is laparoscopic or open. SurgeonNear shows transparent pricing so you can compare before booking.
