Laser Vitreolysis is the latest in the removal of floaters. Laser floater removal is a very simple out-patient procedure which only takes a couple hours in the office. Your eye surgeon will use a YAG laser to vaporize the vitreous strands, eliminating floaters' impact on vision. During the procedure, the YAG laser is used to create a small plasma explosion in the vitreous to break up each floater in the eye. The procedure is very quick and non-invasive allowing most patients return to normal activity within a day. Laser Vitreolysis is a highly effective procedure with a low complication rate resulting in increased patient satisfaction.
