Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
It seems from the history that you are having foggy vision following a laser procedure done for angle closure glaucoma.
This can be laser iridotomy.
Foggy vision indicate corneal edema caused by increased intraocular pressure.
This requires use of anti glaucoma medications.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly by anti glaucoma drugs.

Thank you
