This treatment analysis video shows a large cloudy floater that does just what your doctor said it would: it drops down out of the way. This is a good outcome, right? Well, not really. This large floater will drop out of the way, but with even minor eye movements or head movements it moves up and will intermittently block or significantly distort this floater-sufferers vision especially in brighter ambient light where their pupil will naturally get smaller. The problem with this particular situation is that when the floater moves up it basically slides along and is almost touching the natural crystalline lens inside the eye. This is a location much too close to the lens to safely treat with the laser for the risk of causing a cataract during treatment. This is a particularly frustrating situation as the patient is highly motivated to do something and I, the floater doctor, have to make good and safe decisions.

This is the first described use of a mirror or to redirect the laser energy out into the far periphery, in this case the lower portion of the vitreous which is out of direct targeting reach, but with the mirror I can get energy on the floater and start breaking it up. This is a highly advanced technique and the results of treating thousands of patients environment laser multiple, multiple millions of times. There is no teaching, training, or certification for the use of the laser entreating eye floaters. My usual caveat applies which is to choose your floater treatment Dr. carefully. Just because he or she bought a YAG laser means absolutely nothing as to their skill level andcompetence especially with treating the difficult ones. The truth is, I rarely get the simple or easy ones and the majority of the treatments I do are relatively complex.

The Floater Doctor, James H. Johnson M.D. is Medical Director of the only medical practice in the world specializing in, and exclusively treating 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.
