Testimonials from other patients about YAG laser treatment for floaters.
Mr V, Northampton
Watching television and reading a computer screen - the latter essential given the nature of my work - had become a frustrating and tiring exercise. Reading the newspaper in other than brightly-lit conditions was impossible. I also experienced constant headaches due to the imbalance between vision in my left and right eye, despite the prescription of my spectacles being correct.
Within a few hours of receiving my first laser treatment the vision in my left eye had improved dramatically. My night vision, for driving, was quite simply like night turning in to day. All of the issues described above were considerably reduced.
The procedure itself is completely painless. The only mild discomfort experienced is when drops are placed in the eye to dilate the pupils and to act as an antiseptic. This passes in a few moments.
In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend laser treatment for floaters to anyone who experiences them and will continue to promote your practice to anyone with whom I discuss my experience.

I developed a very dense left sided floater 3 years' ago. This appeared suddenly and in view of its central site made driving, reading and other activities virtually impossible with this eye. Because of the obscuring of my vision, fine tasks requiring stereoscopic vision were also extremely difficult. Continually moving my eye to temporarily displace the floater from my central vision was extremely tiresome.
I explored treatment options with a variety of Ophthalmologists, I was offered a vitrectomy in view of the severity of my symptoms. I was very wary of having such invasive surgical treatment performed and was concerned about the very significant risk of developing cataracts post-operatively, which would require further surgical intervention.
I fortunately, came across information about Yag laser treatment for floaters and this was very successfully performed by Mr Brendan Moriarty. The process entailed two visits, the treatment lasted a few minutes and was essentially completely pain free. I was able to drive later the same day. There were no adverse symptoms and the intrusive floater has been completely removed from my visual field.
