Laser Photodisruption: The Other Laser Vision Correction
The presence of vitreous floaters is not an eye problem. It is a more comprehensive disturbance of vision perception with significant psychological implications. Anyone who tells you to "simply ignore them" is not listening to you . For many people, the brain WILL NOT get used to them.
FEATURED VIDEO:
Robert had a prominent vitreous floater from a posterior vitreous detachment. Seen here as a white "blob" with an attached tail. It is very mobile and quite bothersome to this patient. One painless 15 minute treatment is all it took to clear out 95% of the floater. He walked out and drove back home. He is a very happy person. Watch the actual treatment and listen to us discuss his experience.
