Treating EYE FLOATERS with a YAG laser

[NickWilliamsAus2012]

This is a great video, it restores some faith in one day I'll be able to enjoy a nice summer day again one of lifes simplest but greatest pleasures..

Dr Johnson I roughly around 6 months ago developed floaters in my left eye which over time have become seemingly worse I now notice an ocotopus like shape that comes across my field of vision every single day & am now noticing small ones in my right eye! Which is how my left started.

[OhNoThanks]

This is rather relaxing video :) I have asmr. Love this vid

Seems like an awfully risky procedure to me

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@dougconley ..based on what?

[dougconley]

@VitreousFloaterSolns I would assume based on having a laser shot into your eyeball.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@dougconley You would think that if it were an awfully risky procedure, there would would be devastating stories of treatments gone bad all over the internet... and lawsuits. Unless, of course, there is a vast worldwide conspiracy to cover up any negative comments and press.

ok i really studied your page now. i have "crystal worms" in my right eye. But one floater is really weird. the end of it is like blurry. Cant explain really. On my left eye i have a black-grey cloud. Now I am 15 years old. But when i visited my doctor more then a year ago he said the black-grey cloud was visible for him. Now i just need to make sure its far enough from the retina right? and how can i found out if my crystal worms are treatable? Thank you doctor.

[VitreousFloaterSolns]

@UltraGamer457 The vitreous cortex material described at 9:42 is not particularly treatable. Like trying to get rid of a piece of paper with a hole punch. Not very efficient. I also wouldn't be to hopeful or optimistic as to the prospects of treating someone who is 15 years old. I think the likelihood for having a treatable floater type or group is unlikely.

[UltraGamer457]

@VitreousFloaterSolns Is there a chance the vitreous cortex material goes away by  itself? And did you ever try to treat it? What happened afterwards? Maybe i am one of the 20% who can be treated :D

[UltraGamer457]

@VitreousFloaterSolns By the way doctor have you ever thought about going "on tour" in Europe? Many people in Germany, Italy and France have eyefloaters.

@UltraGamer457

i have a helpful information for you.

at doctor Johnsons website you can find a few other doctors who practice laser treatments

One of them works in Switzerland.

[UltraGamer457]

@Kai8593 danke hast du auch welche?

[Kai8593]

@UltraGamer457 joa die dinger nerven seit 2 montaten mehr weil sie mehr geworden sind kannst mir so ne nachricht schreiben wenn du willst, hier unterm video ist nicht so toll ;)

[UltraGamer457]

9:42 Is this visible for the patient? Because I think i have one of these but mine is huge and it always changes the figure. Could it be worth a try to vaporize these?
