You'll want to seek out the best retinopathist in your area and get a full diagnosis of your situation and the doc will advise the best course of action.
The laser treatments worked for me. If you have retinopathy you will want to address it sooner rather than later.

Floaters is something completely different. It is floating in front of retina... it's harmless but can be annoying. More then 50% of all people have them. Some more then others. Many doctors don't even know it can be treated with laser... but then again... for floaters it's not an approved method yet. But... maybe that's so so insuerances don't have to put it on list of covered treatements.
