What are a patients odds of seeing significant improvement? No improvement?
Every eye is different and there are too many variables to list here, but it is reasonable to expect 60-90% improvement and decrease in the mass or amount of the floaters. Most patients will need a second (and rarely a third or more) treatment to clear up most of the rest. There have been a few patients ( about 15% of consultations) that have such thin, transparent floaters (or too close to the retina) that we haven’t even able to see them or treat them.

There have been a few patients (about 15% of consultations) that have such thin, transparent floaters (or too close to the retina) that we haven’t even able to see them or treat them. These patients are almost always younger than 30-35 years of age.
