It's been 5 days since i received a laser procedure for a tear in my retina and i can still see the same floater of before. is this normal?

Yes,: The laser seals the retinal tears, but does not change the floaters. They are due to the vitreous collapse. They get less noticeable with time.

Yes- expected: The laser acts to cauterize or burn spots of the retina near the tear to "spot weld" the retina down and prevent fluid from entering the hole caused by the tear and cause a retinal detachment. The floater you are seeing is in the vitreous gel and was a sign of the retinal traction that caused the tear- but should not cause a problem after the laser.

Yes: Vitreous separation and vitreous hemorrhage occur with retinal tears-causing vitreous floaters, and floaters in your vision. This can also result in hazy vision. The laser procedure helps to prevent the tear from progressing to a retinal detachment; however it does not resolve the vitreous floaters. The vitreous floaters can takes weeks to months to improve.
