I am considering laser to treat my floaters. extreme including large weiss ring. what is your opinion on this procedure? thank you!

It's safest option: Floaters that become intolerable can be treated with basically two options. The safest is the laser treatment procedure you describe. Safest by far,IMO. The option is an open vitrectomy.
