Is it common for doctors to use yag lasers in australia for floater treatment?

??: There are only a few doctors who use a yag laser for floaters in the U.S. I believe it works only for certain types of floaters.

Uncommon: I think it is uncommon everywhere because it works for only a subset of floaters. It is an uncommon procedure in the us.
