Apparently the annual retinopathy controls gave that stable with minor changes, now it is my surprise when the other day my left eye clouded and such was the scare that I went to the clinics of the vision.
Consult with two specialists and the result seems to be unanime I have a closed angle glaucoma.
This is operated and the treatment is called iridotomy with Yag Laser.
There is still some studies to know if it would really have to operate but everything indicates that.
I would appreciate if someone has some kind of experience or comments regarding this topic.
Thanks and greetings

Indeed, the initial treatment of an acute glaucoma is the iridotomy with Laser Yag (it has nothing to do with the laser used to treat retinopathy).Idotomia is painless and can be sufficient to solve the problem, but the most frequent thing is that after passing the acute moment, it is necessary to resort to conventional surgery (trabeculelectomy, or installation of a valve).In any case, the biggest problem in glaucoma is not to decent, and that is already done.There is a great therapeutic arsenal to control it, and also, surgery.It has nothing to do with diabetes

Thank you very much for your answer, I effectively come from the study carried out and the verdict is this:
Mild damage for closed angle glaucoma in OI and primary angula closure with probable plateau iris.
It is suggested to perform Yag Laser iridotomy as soon as possible repeating study a later month to evaluate angular reopening. If iris persists in the plateau, an iridoplasty with laser argon must be reopened.
Hopefully then it is not painful and can solve this problem.
