YAG laser vitreolysis for symptomatic vitreous floaters
Closed for comments This consultation ended on at Request commenting lead permission
Description
Floaters are small dark shapes that float across your vision. They can look like spots, rings, squiggly lines or cobwebs, and can sometimes affect sight. They are usually caused by changes in the jelly-like substance (vitreous) inside the eye. In this procedure, a special type of laser (YAG) fires short pulses of energy into the floaters to break up or destroy them (vitreolysis). It is done as an outpatient procedure. The aim is to reduce disturbance to sight caused by vitreous floaters.
