What is the name of this laserapparatus?

The specifications please?

[scottgellermd]

It is a LASAG Microruptor II. I use it in fundamental mode. Usual power is 4 - 6 Mjoules, 300-500 pulses in 5 shot burst mode per session. Are you an MD??

i have floaters , i wiggle the eyes back and forth, people must think im strange when they see me flick my eyes around ! floaters are fucking annoying !!

I am 48, myopic and had a retina detachment+crotherapy surgery 32 years back. I have a scleral buckle and plenty of floaters and they are getting worse with age. Also have an early cataract at the age of 48 as warned due to trauma to the eye through surgery. The floaters are annoying but I am grateful that I have reasonable vision and can work in my engineering field. What are the risks of this lases procedure specific to my case? Worth doing it or the risks out way the benefits?

@csordie2000 - yes, but that is the only similarity. They are not related in any way.

@tacotony24 - There are 3 doctors in the US that do this. Look up this doc's website and Google for the rest. All the information you want is available to be found in a few minutes with a little research on the internet.

@MEOWCI - Google is a wonderful tool. You should use it. You can learn many things.

@nuahsx - you've got to be kidding me. Yeah, he'll take all of his eye equipment and his huge laser machine, his office and his nursing staff and put them in a big moving truck and drive for several days all the way to Podunk, Anystate (where you live) and do the procedure at your convenience. And, I'm sure he'll do it for free for you, too! Speaking of annoying. By the way, use capitals when you start a sentence. What are you in middle school?

@ACMDevils - Sooner or later? Jeez. This doctor has a treatment right now.

[CasuallyObservant]

@skux23 - Guys! This doctor DOES have a cure. Did no one even watch?

[CasuallyObservant]

@skux23 - Uh.... this doctor does have a cure for it! Did you not watch the video?

How long after Lasik surgery do you have to wait to have this procedure?

@Gamer84651 They never go away. Just maybe stay from light and wear shades. Stop looking at solid colors
