[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for other experiences with Laser Vitreolysis for floaters. I've had small floaters my whole life and learned to live with them. Now I have had a double posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) (in both eyes) and I'm miserable, weiss rings, cloud floatings, all of it. What was your experience? Hoping for help, thank you.[/quote]

I'm just putting up with the debris. My ophthalmologist isn't a fan.[/quote]

Did they say why? Have you had PVD?[/quote]

Yes, pvd in both eyes.

The retina specialist said I could do a procedure where they replace the vitreous gel with saline. (Vitrectomy). I'd likely need cataract surgery several months after that as a result though. The retina specialist warned me against laser surgery.

The opthalmologist also warned against laser surgery. That doc gets patients considering the vitreous gel replacement procedure to watch on YouTube how it is done, which usually results in people opting to put up with floaters.[/quote]
