A:
1. Wang Vision is one of the leading centers in this part of the country for laser floater removal (LFR) with the state-of-the-art Ellex laser.
2. We have performed nearly 100 procedures, and majority of our patients do have moderate to significant amount of reduction in floaters with minimal issues.
3. However, we do tell all of our patients that LRS does not actually remove the floaters. The laser mainly just blast the floaters apart, so they are no longer in the visual axis. So, the end result is that though some patients do still see some floaters, the floaters are often no longer in the visual axis, so they are not as bothersome.
4. In a minority of patients, LFR does not work (i.e., does not reduce the floaters).
