Eye Floaters are spots in your vision caused by aging of the vitreous gel inside the eye. Although they are often benign, they can cause disturbance to the vision by casting shadows on the retina and appearing as black specks, strings or cobwebs. They may sometimes be associated with retinal tears which require Argon Laser treatment to seal the tears and prevent retinal detachment. NOVENA Bladeless Cataract Surgery & Eye Specialist Centre offers another type Nd: YAG cold laser to treat problematic floaters. This form of laser therapy is also called Laser Floater Vitreolysis.

LFR is a non-invasive procedure that can treat visual disturbance caused by eye floaters. LFR applies nanosecond pulses of laser light to evaporate vitreous opacities (floaters), converting them into gas, resulting in their removal / reduction in size.
