I seem to get mostly really complex cases from all over the country, so it is refreshing to treat a classic weiss ring type floater + some 'crinkly' plastic-looking vitreous cortex membrane. Even nicer is to enjoy the company of and interview Ralph, a thoughtful and articulate microbiologist and nature photographer. Ralph experienced a posterior vitreous detachment and typical to many floater sufferers he was offered few options: not even a mention of the laser treatment option. After discovering laser vitreolysis, he couldn't find anyone in New Mexico offering this specialty treatment.
We discuss his experience up to and after a couple of treatments as well as a couple of YAG Laser Vitreolysis articles he brought me.
The studies had surprisingly good results as far as patient satisfaction, even though the average treatment was very light (averaging about 300 laser bursts) - and only one treatment. Ralph's first treatment was a tedious 1221 shots on day one, and then the next day another 800+. I have been exclusively treating eye floaters for over 17 years and I have found aggressive treatments are often necessary but are also very well tolerated in the right patient. Experience is an important factor here and Ralph concurs.
There are many doctors with YAG lasers, but nowhere is there any teaching, training, course of instruction for them to build the foundation of experience. Occasionally dabbling with light treatment might offer a safe procedure, but not very effective as I am now hearing from patients treated elsewhere.

The Floater Doctor, James H. Johnson M.D. is Medical Director of the only medical practice in the world specializing in, and exclusively treating eye floaters, the bothersome spots, shadows, and clouds that affect your vision. Although common, especially changes such as posterior vitreous detachment (PVDs) as we age, these vitreous eye floaters are rarely offered treatment by your local and well qualified eye care providers, even at top specialty institutions. Dr. Johnson uses a specialized FDA-approved YAG laser to vaporize and destroy the proteins in the vitreous that are responsible for your spots, shadows, and moving blurred areas in your vision. He has been doing so since 2007 making him one of, if not the most experienced in this very specialty niche area in ophthalmology, a pioneer in this field.
