I went to Dr Geller in Ft Myers for my floaters. He shoots them with a YAG laser. He has been doing this for years. I also got them after cataract surgery. He uses the laser, to break them apart and absorb back into the body. My floaters were so bad (and yes I checked my eye health first and they were due to aging) I couldn't even read. My surgeon would not do a vitrectomy because I had macular and retinal tear in my other eye.
The laser was a success. Unfortunately, they do come back. I do have another large one, that I am going to treat again. You can contact me if you have questions. I know it's scary to do but also, to live with them when they completely distort your vision is very frustrating.
