A member asked:
After laser argon barrage, seeing floaters and a slight pain even after 2 weeks. doc said that no detachment and retina is healthy. anything to worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The floaters should gradually resolve. You need to avoid doing anything that could increase the pressure in your eye such as heavy lifting, pushing/pulling, coughing, bending your head below the waist, being constipated. Would not recommend taking any medications that may act as blood thinners such as Ibuprofen or aspirin.
