Glaucoma...

Appreciate any experiences / advice on this.
I was recently diagnosed with acute glaucoma (sometimes called closed angle or narrow angle Glaucoma). Apparently its a sudden condition (symptoms are blurred vision + headaches) which needs immediate treatment. I was seen by the local hospital (specialist eye clinic with a good reputation) and was operated on within 72 hours (YAG lazer). The CAA has temporarily suspended my Class2 until the results of my peripheral eye test and follow-up meeting with the consultant next month.
Anyone else had this or know what the chances are on getting my class2 back?
Appreciate any experiences / advice.
Thanks.
