Vitreous eye floaters are clumps and clouds of collagen proteins that form in the back of the eye. They cause moving shadows, distortions, and occasionally block vision. They affect the quality of vision and quality of life...
YAG Laser Vitreolysis:
Our Specialty
Dr. Johnson's practice is the only ophthalmology specialty practice IN THE WORLD specializing in the treatment of bothersome eye floaters. We use an FDA-approved YAG laser, an alternative to risky & invasive surgery. Treatment is low risk, painless, and with virtually no downtime...
Has your child been prescribed low dose pupil dilating agents? We can work with your doctor's prescription or recommendation to provide these custom meds at about 1/3 the cost of custom compounding pharmacies.
For Extreme Dry Eyes
Autologous Serum (platelet concentrated serum) has multiple healing native hormones, growth factors, and cytokines to start healing the ocular surface for those where lubrication, meibomian gland maintenance and immune modulating medications are not enough.
We can not emphasize enough that experience matters. Laser vitreolysis is a very specific skill set and Dr. Johnson is the most experienced in this sub-specialty with over 12,000 procedures since 2007.

Agents (included) to Treat Floater Symptoms
Illustration of a Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) typical of sudden-onset floater symptoms in 40+ yr patients. The vitreous body separates from the retina. Sometimes associated with peripheral flashes of light in the first few days or weeks. Floaters from PVD are usually very treatable in the hands and judgment of an experienced laser specialist.
