no, well not a good treatment for younger candidates and it isn't quite effective at removing different types of floaters. I went to Dr. Geller when I was younger and he said it is difficult to remove opacities that are generally thick and vitreous clumping which in my case were causing a visual distortion when the floaters would move up and down rather than a singular point floater that would move. Also, I do have large "crystallized" looking floaters but they tended to be rather close to the retina which is obvious indication of poor candidate for this procedure.
I wanted a treatment with the YAG Laser. Unfortunately, my Floaters are near the retina and can't be treated with the laser. Very disappointing. Got a lot of floaters after my Relex Smile.
I had the YAG laser treatment for eye floaters and it was very successful. It was not a planned procedure but during my YAG laser capsulotomy (post cataract surgery treatment) the doctor noticed my many floaters and felt very confident he could remove some of the floaters. So after the capsulotomy he continued zapping my floaters for about 60 seconds. The results were very good to say the least. Not perfect as I still have some cloudy floaters but I would say at least 60%+ of the floaters are gone.
have have really bad floaters from a head injury i was attacked it happend a year ago and ive kinda adjusted to them but they still mess with my dailey life sometimes im trying to look into getting rid of them or atleast reduced i wanna get better does anyone else deal with something like this?
Hi Jake, sorry for late response. Cataract formation is not a risk highlighted with this procedure. Although I imagine there could be some theoretical risk of the oxidation arising at the back of the lens indirectly and this may increase the future likelihood of cataract formation.
I have had this condition for 14 years and it is terrible, so many days ruined by the eyefloaters so much stress so much suffering depression, and the doctors only tell you to get used to it, like this is an aging process as this were a wrinkle on the face, Noooo this is something that medicine should have investigated years ago, help so many people who have had this terrible condition for years, such as EYEFLOATERS, and this it is not something you can get used to, it is something that many years ago should have been solved, and prevented so much suffering in those who suffer of this condition
I had it done and only three shots were fired as the surgeon could not really aim/find my big floater in the right eye. So I simply paid a lot of money for nothing - maybe even it getting worse.

Hello doctor, I had a very severe dry eye problem for which I did a procedure called IRPL therapy (intense regulated pulse light) done 2 months back which I seem to believe was done with proper medical standard by covering the eye with small eye mask and a gel covering the eye, post procedure I started to see lot of floaters and experienced eye plain during screen time, eye pain was gone after a month but the floater just stayed still, it is so annoying as it stays in middle of my eye often showing up while I am on computer or cell phones and also causing lot of glare while I drive in the night.My question to you, is it really a floater ? If not, then what am I seeing ? Please advice..
Sorry to hear about your experience. It does sound like eye floaters that you have. If they move with your eye movements and stay in the general same spot, then it’s likely to be a floater. Get it checked out for your piece of mind.
Dr I'm 44 yrs i have done my cataract surgery after cataract surgery my vision is not very much clear my dr suggested yag laser, should I opted for the procedure please reply me and it is a emergency treatment ? or can I delay for some time
Hi. It’s not a procedure that we as optometrists do. However, we do refer patients and do post operative follow ups. I’ve seen just a few patients, but the treatment is not a very popular one for the reasons outlined in the videos. It’s still an option that people should be aware of.
Since one of the leading eye hospitals in the world Moorfield's have stopped the procedure in their private clinics, it has got me wondering why, I will be checking it out with them in the coming weeks.
@@Spartana007 Not yet, because of the pandemic Moorfield's Private had stopped all procedures. I need to contact them in the next few weeks to see if I can get an answer.
@@michaelwood3099 Can you update me/us? I really want to do this procedure, but something inside me tells me that there is something dubious going on in this whole "eye surgery/ Laser treatment industry".
I was told from a highly respected Retinal Ophthalmologist from the Cincinnati Eye Institute that it can't be done on floaters. She said that there is one doctor who will in California but it is a procedure that as you mentioned surely leads to Glaucoma
What is the cure rate for YAG laser? I have more than 100 in my left eye. I am 70 yr old and decided to go for surgery not laser. Please guide me if i pick the right option.
Martin please can you answer ?Doctors in UK are reluctant with many eye procedures when American doctors are much more keen to do surgery? I agree with UK doctors leave the eye alone unless necessary..
@Martin's Eye Tips I just had a Vitrectomy for a Macular hole in January. Coming along fine. The gas bubble is diminishing and sight is pretty clear around it. Are you familiar with the product from HerbPharm -Vaccinium Myrtillus Bilberry? Is this a product you would encourage to use? I have not used it before but it was recommended by a family member
Dr Sebag from VDM project said that using the YAG laser is not enough to vaporise the floaters. I am still waiting for VDM to find a cure for eye floaters and it could take years
I had a terrible experience. I was told twice by two different doctors that once it was done, I would have no more problems with floaters. I wasn't given any education, nor told what to expect in advance. I found it to be very uncomfortable. Your eye is dilated, then the shine a bright light into your eye. While this light is being shined into your eye, they put a thick contact into your eye. As is normal, your eyes want to shut due to the light, so it was very awkward. The numbing eye drops were put in too late, so it was painful, as well. After going through all of that, it didn't work. I still have a lot of thick, spiderweb floaters, while the clinic got $10,000 dollars from my insurance company. It was painful, my feelings were hurt, and it did not work. Now I'm reading it may cause Glaucoma, which my dad suffered from. If I had not been told by two different doctors that once it was done, I would not have any more problems with it ever again, and that I didn't get any education about it in advance, I would not be so upset about this situation. PLUS, it did not work! 😔
I think doctor it is not safe for under 35 years old people but it dosen't mean that it's useless. Its all depend on the skill of the person who control the laser machine ! Doctor can you suggest any safe option

Would you consider YAG laser vitreolysis for eye floaters or have you had it done?

Go see Dr. Johnson in Texas.

I’ve had many patients experience floaters after head trauma such as car accidents.
I had mine done now and im extremely happy with results. Only use a specialist. 90% min sudden improvement. Took 30 minutes. Little pain. Not much.
Who is your doctor give me contact number.
Greetings from germany ❤. I have floaters since april and i hate them 😂. I will check if there its possible to shot them with a laser.
Dear Martin, does the AG laser treatment for eye floaters have risks of inducing cataract in the eyes? Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you!

Totally agree. I have had a weiss ring for 6 weeks now but it feels like 6 years. Horrible.

Great results with Dr Johnson and some years back by another doctor who specializes in floaters in Florida.
My apologies if I'm being too intrusive, but can you explain how you got rid of your eye-floaters?
can u lose ur sight from this lazer doctor ? ΤΗΕ secondary glaucoma can be caused when the doctor zap a floater that didnt have to ?
