A member asked:
Please tell me, could lasik surgery cause eye floaters?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intraocular surgery: May increase the risk of developing a vitreous floater. Lasik is not invasive to the globe but due to mild compression of the eye during surgery, the vitreous gel after being mildly compressed and decompressed, can form a vitreous floater. These are normally benign. One study in the journal of cataract ; refract surgery (2011) reported a 16% incidence.
