REFORMATION: The Challenge of Partial Reformation of Vitreous Eye Floaters Treated w/ YAG Laser


Eye Floater Treatment is rarely a 'one and done' procedure. There is, in fact, no simple eye floaters cure. Although that said, some are much more efficiently treated with the YAG laser. Others, particularly the large cloudy (syneresis type) of vitreous eye floaters have a tendency to reform after treatment. The reformed floaters are usually smaller than the larger original floater, but can still be quite bothersome. These reformed floaters can be retreated as soon as the next day. We have not found any way to absolutely prevent this from occuring. It is common enough that we do not consider this to be a complication, but rather the nature of and expectation of eye floater treatment.
