<< Nd:YAG Laser Treatment for Vitreous Floaters | Laser Vitreolysis >>
Using a Laser to Treat Vitreous Floaters. Is it for Real?
Tired of your Floaters? Laser Vitreolysis (VIT-tree-oh-LYE-sis) uses YAG laser technology that has been around ophthalmology for 20 years. We are one of just a few practices in the US specializing in the painless and low-risk reduction and/or elimination of floaters WITHOUT invasive surgery.
Were you told to "Learn to live with it"? That is not your only option!
If you have been diagnosed with vitreous floaters and reassured that it is not a vision-threatening condition ...AND..If that floater has not improved on it's own, then you might be a candidate for treatment. Most likely you were told that you will just have to learn to live with it. 
What if you can't? We have talked to many people who are depressed, unable to read or concentrate at their jobs, and just plain crazy-frustrated with these floaters. They are desperate for some treatment, some supplement, some hope, SOMETHING to bring them relief.
Here are some actual quotes from our patients (used with permission)
"I would do it again in a second and recommend it to anyone that has a permanent vision-restricting floater. There is an answer besides "Live with it".
"It is in my opinion a moral crime against humanity for medical doctors not to provide this relief and treatment for their patients"
"I have been given a new lease on life. I can see many times better, I can read, work, drive, and walk without feeling imbalanced. It almost became necessary for me to quit or retire from my job because I could not get help through the (medical organization name withheld) system"
"I want to thank you for giving me my life back to me after your floater procedure.My own doctor, a retinal surgeon said nothing could be done and to merely live with it. (Dr. Johnson) has perfected a breakthrough outpatient, non-surgical, painless laser treatment that zapped my floaters away. Even my regular eye doctor, a famed Los Angeles retinal surgeon, could not believe the results."
"I can truly say I have my life back"
"To me the laser procedure is a no-brainer. Each treatment has worked to reduce floaters and improve my quality of life"
"Dear Dr. Johnson, It is great people like you who dare to dream that make this world a better place, a world full of hope and possibility. Thank you for saying "yes" when everyone else said "no"."

Laser Vitreolysis is a non-invasive, very low risk procedure that could eliminate or at least significantly reduce that distracting floater(s) and help you return to a normal life. We have created a convincing, scientific argument for treating floaters non-invasively with a laser. We have included scientific references as well as links to other ophthalmologist doing the same procedure. We have witnessed the elimination of floaters, had the improvement confirmed by other ophthalmologists, and heard the personal testimonies. For the right candidates it can seem like a miracle. In many cases, there has been an amazing transformation and improvement in the function of these patients.
