Eye Vitreous Floaters: Treated here when others say it can't be done ... without surgery.

[NickWilliamsAus2012]

I have a very bad floaters in my left eye so bad to the point I can't even look at the sky anymore I'm talking atleast 4 or 5 big worm like things that constantly cover my left side of my vision.

My right eye has small ones which I'm noticing more frequently. Surely there must be a cure.. I'm beginning to think the end of my days are near how am I meant to enjoy life like this..

[strawberryjam33]

I remember last summer, I had a floater that looks like a flying dragon. It was cool at first but it gets annoying.

@lahorichikur It is not likely any treatment available for these microscopic vitreous condensations in young people. Some of them as small as 1/10 to 1/20 of a millimeter in size sometimes.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@kostacs Similar. Not the same. See my web site for listings.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@lahorichikur Not much to choose from. No Retina specialist will do a vitrectomy for something they can barely see. Sometimes the only option IS to just adapt and learn to live with it, unfortunately.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@lahorichikur Usually I can ind the floaters on direct examination. sometimes the floaters are so small and microscopic, they can't be seen at all. I imagine I am more motivated than most doctors to see and map out the floaters, but sometimes I can't see anything at all. The floater sufferer can see object just a few microns in size, whereas the doctors needs the floater to be larger and with a bit more contrast for it to be seen. - Dr. Johnson

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@lahorichikur multipe cob-web like strands mostly in the middle part of the globe. Not the typical young-person's floaters.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@r1ccardo You may have the microscopic floaters near the retina which are common in young people. If your doctor wasn't able to see them, he/she may not have spent the time or effort to do so, or they may just be too small to be seen.

[lonewolf90211]

How old is this guy? I'm 17 and I wanna know when I can get this treatment.

[UltraGamer457]

@lonewolf90211 i am 15. first u have to go to ur eye doctor and ask him if he can see ur floater and if it is in a safe position, means it mustnt be in the near of the retina.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@lonewolf90211 He is young 20's. The treatment is not defined by the age of the patient, it is defined by the type and location. Young people are less likely treatable. He is exceptional.

[Coster716]

I'm 25 and can really relate to this kid.. his story is exactly like mine especially when he described all his prior doctor visits.. Where are you located because I definitely would like to make an appointment.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@Coster716 Read the web site first, especially regarding the treatment of younger patients. I am located in Southern California

[afghanhorse]

how much does it cost? , is it %100 gaurnaty that these floaters go away?

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@afghanhorse The fees for this procedure are described in detail at my website. Any responsible physician should never guarantee 100% of anything. If you read through the website, it will help with a better understanding of the expectations of the procedure and what would be considered a successful outcome.

im from Belgium and im saving money to go there i hope next year becous i suffer from it since 2006 :(

[Kekke466]

@16ar

I'm from Belgium too, got floaters from 2006-2007 as well.

I try to wear sunglasses as much as I can to cover them up.

[NHTPC]

Also, when I blink, the cloudy area moves over to my vision, and it feels like i have a nictitating membrane moving back and forth, like a lizard!!!!!!!!!!

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@NHTPC

Nictitating membrane? Nice analogy. Fees by the way are about the same as LASIK here in the states.

[NHTPC]

@VitreousFloaterSolns I'm not worried about $ just worried about FLYING.. I don't fly... Yes the floating hairs don't bother me, because they change and move it's that damned cloudy spot that nictates over my eye that makes me nuts.. which is why I thought I had a cataract at first!

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@NHTPC

Don't you find it interesting that the ophthalmology profession has no problem removing cataracts, but still considers floaters to be benign and not worth their consideration?

[NHTPC]

@VitreousFloaterSolns Yes I sure do... I've heard of many complications with cataracts surgery and vision correction surgery but never this which seems fast, simple and not dangerous at all.

[NHTPC]

How much does this procedure cost? My floater is a very prominent one, according to the exam I had yesterday... and judging from the way he said he could see it... and I said YOU DID? and he was like OH YEAH. I might have a Weiss because mine is rather stationary, and more like a cloud over one section of my eye from top to bottom. SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could make you suicidal really.

a buisness tip for you guys:

expand into every large city in the usa, then the uk, and eventually the world!!

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

I've thought about loading the laser into the back of a van and going "on tour". Something like the "Yag-apalooza concert tour. I've aready designed the black concert T-shirts. Waiting for a corporate sponsor

/s

[Gam0rDude]

@VitreousFloaterSolns

what about "floater YAG fraging tour" that'd be a cool name!

P.S.why dont you guys accept insurance?

or did i misunderstand something?

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

Most PPO's will reimburse for the procedure as I use a standard and accepted insurance code. I provide the patient all support documents and invoices and explanations for the fees paid. The patient can then submit that for reimbursement. Because of the variability in reimbursement and because of the extra costs in processing insurance claims (and re-submitting them), If I did, the extra costs and overhead would have to be passed on to the patient with higher fees.

hi there i am in my twentys and have floaters and i am also from the uk i am so deprate to get rid of my floaters is there anyway of telling how they are treatable or not i have long strands of them and dots which interfear with my vision and dark cloud? please help as i am desparate for a sloution to this nightmare

[janighaffortv]

hi there i am the guy who was in this video

one way to tell if they are treatable is...

get your eyes dialated

if your floaters become more faint when dialated , that means they are not close to the Retina, and 'may' be treatable...

or do they become more faint when in doors as apose to natural lite

i wish you all the best

dont hesitate to PM me if you have any questions
