Brief Answer:
Intraocular pressure needs to be checked.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to. Health care Magic.

I am DR. DADAPEER K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having fluttering in peripheral vision.
Since you are diagnosed with narrow angle and treated with peripheral iridotomy, this can be because of episodes of increase in intraocular pressure which can occur in narrow angle glaucoma.
Hence this requires evaluation of the eye which include measurement of the intraocular pressure and its treatment if it is increased.

Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for evaluation and treatment accordingly.

Do write back to me with the examination reports and for further questions.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
