Vitreous floaters: Floaters are generally age specific changes in the eye's viscous fluids in the compartment behind the iris. Occasionally floaters arise from diseases or trauma that may require medical and or surgical treatment. Therefore, depending on the problem, a surgical treatment to resolve the problem often eliminates the floaters. Otherwise, the floaters will remain without unnecessary evacuation.

Floaters: Most common it is recommended to have an immediate exam when they first occur to rule out retinal detachment. If there is only floater, then wait a year and if they are still symptomatic then consider a vitrectomy to remove the vitreous and floaters. There is not much information and acceptance on using a yag laser to treat them, do internet search if you want more on yag. I do not recommend ya.
