A member asked:

Can i expect an increase in floaters after undergoing barrage laser procedure for lattice on retina? i mean can more floaters be a side effect this treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: I would suggest an immediate recheck by your ophthalmologist: the floaters are not necessarily related to your retina per se and any retinal surgery can cause visual disturbances: you must be examined by your surgeon for a definitive diagnosis.
