    Dr. George A. Williams of American Academy of Ophthalmology answered:
    Laser iridotomy is a laser treatment to help prevent angle closure glaucoma. Typically an ophthalmologist will recommend the laser treatment if the angle is narrow enough to increase the risk of glaucoma significantly. The best approach is to discuss your concerns with your ophthalmologist, and ask her/him about your specific risks.
