Can laser eye surgery fix eye floaters?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: laser eye surgery such as lasik or prk is done on your cornea to correct your distance prescription. Floaters are condensations of protein located in a different part of your eye called the vitreous and will not be affected by laser eye surgery.
