Anyone experience with lasering eye floaters?
 

It's becoming annoying behind a computer-screen... or maybe i'm just more focussed on it lately.

The technique isn't officially approved yet in the medical world although thousands and thousands of people allready had their floaters lasered. But... i'm a pussy when it comes to medical shit.

Anyone here with experience?

i;m pussy when it comes to eye's shit :)).
I have problems with the eyes , i have glasses , i have myopia at the both eyes , i was talking with my doctor and he advised me do not do that .

I hAve diabetic retinopathy and have had the laser treatment.

I am not sure which procedure you are saying is not approved but both laser techniques I am aware of for treating my situation are. scatter laser and coagulation.

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.

How often do you take Aspirin?

:1orglaugh

I take fuck all, never have done, in the way of medicines, pills. I have eye floaters too. What's the verdict, doc?

what's retinopathy mate? floaters?

it can manifest as floaters and/or halos and such. Retinopathy is basically blood vessels exploding in the retina. the laser zaps the vessels and seals it up, stopping the leakage. It doesn't make things better but it stops things from getting worse, in that region or vessel.

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.

umm, no floaters are not completely different.


have luck.

shit is getting scary over here now... i think i'm out:helpme

before you start asking for advices then telling those that provide actual real world experience to you that they are off base, perhaps you should stop being lazy you take a millisecond to use google

I was asking if people had their floaters lasered. Not their retina... maybe you mean that what you describe can cause floaters... thanks for your input anyway and sorry to hear...

No thanks to google... were all stories about lasering floaters are nothing but marketing blabla stories from the clinincs... I was hoping some real experiences from real people....
no marketing stories.

Not sure where you think floaters are if they are not in the eye. You asked if people had their floaters lasered and I was generous enough to share my personal experience about that very thing, laser surgery to stop the damage that manifests as floaters.

again, have luck with your self-diagnosis. If you are smart you'll stop nitpicking and realize I gave you sound advice- go see a fucking retinopathist (an eye specialist to the uniformed) and get a professional diagnosis.

I have seen an eyedocter for this. He said majority of the people have this and there is nothing to do about. But there are some private clinics that now laser them....

I'm talking about harmless protein formation in the vitreous in regards to floaters...

We were miscommunicating. You talk about surgery to stop damage that can manifest as floaters. I'm talking about actually lasering the floaters itself. Floaters can be caused by multiple things. Not all types of floaters are the same. I was talking about harmless protein formation in the vitreous... Most people have them to some degree... worse annoying or less annoying... depends.

Best wishes.

I've had laser coagulation due to retinal tears. It doesn't hurt but it's extremely fucking unpleasant. If i had to choose that or a colonscopy, i'll take 3 colonoscopies...


That being said, I do have this floater which is causing a blurry/darker spot in my vision on right eye near the center, and i've got an appointment with optomitrist on wednesday to check it out...might consider this lasering option.

Maybe you could try to watch the screen from further away, it really makes difference. Monitor should be at least hand length away from you. Also changing the monitor brightness to match the environment helps.

Someone been spiking your drinks :winkwink:

I spike my drinks all the time. I do not need blood thinners that way.

Thanks for the info Dyna Mo, I am considering eye treatment also.

Now if they can do laser therapy for the nervous system issues I am good to go.
