Is having laser zapping to get rid of eye floaters bad?

Better Options: Laser treatment with a nd:yag laser is advocated by very, very few doctors. None are retinal specialists. The fear is that not all floaters can be treated and there is too much chance of developing a tear in your retina...Potentially leading to a retinal detachment. Other options, including vitrectomy (aka fov), are much more effective and safe.

I don't think so: I used to look at the procedure with skepticism but now have seen a few patients who really benefitted. It doesn't work for all types of floaters. It takes some time also. Overall, it appears to be safe in trained hands with very low incidence of complications. I have never seen the much feared complications, but they exist and should be discussed. Procedure works best for certain types.
