Angle-closure glaucoma
I have recently been told by an eye specialist that I have "narrow angles", a situation which could, but will not necessarily, lead to angle-closure glaucoma. The standard preventive treatment for this condition is an iridotomy, where a laser is used to cut a small hole in the iris.
I have tried to research the implications for my medical certificate if I have the procedure done but there is very little information out there. What I really want to know is how long I can expect my Class 1 medical to be suspended for (assuming the procedure is 100% successful) or if it might be permanently revoked. Anybody with personal experience in this area with FAA, CAA etc?
