A member asked:
I have large weiss ring floaters in each eye. is there a procedure that can safely remove or break them up.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weiss floaters: Weiss floaters are nearly always associated with posterior vitreous detachment. These floaters can be treated by laser ablation although the number of op docs who can do this is a bit restricted. You need a good dilated exam because PVD often precedes retinal detachment.
