Vitreous Eye Floater Destruction & Relief Without Surgery. Example & Optics of Treatment.
Published 2020-02-26
Dr. James H Johnson is medical director of Vitreous Floater Solutions, Inc. and also known as 'The Floater Doctor'. His super-specialty ophthalmology practice in Southern California is the only one in the world exclusively dedicated to the laser treatment of eye floaters. "Wait", you say I was told nothing can be done about my floaters. Truth be told, not everybody is a great candidate for treatment, but any eyecare provider who puts forth the blanket statement that floaters are not treatable is not fully informed. Dr. Johnson has been treating floaters exclusively since 2007 and has performed thousands and thousands of procedures using an FDA-approved YAG laser. In this video, Dr. Johnson explains some of the optics involved with the laser slit lamp bio microscopes and some of the challenges in recording good quality video to document it for you. The video also shows to Weiss ring variant floaters that are very dense and very bothersome to the floater suffering patient. In just a minute or two of treatment of this type of floater, you can see what starts out as a prominent and dense aggregation of proteins get vaporized and destroyed by the very accurate YAG laser.
Any medical doctor can purchase a YAG laser but the sales receipt does not confer competency in treating eye floaters. As we have said in other videos, you need to choose your doctor carefully. We hope you enjoy this video and learn something from it.

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.

I greatly appreciate the care with which you acquire your target before every burst. Watching many, many other floater lasering videos, I couldn't help but think that many times the operation of the laser seems careless and hasty.
-
Very interesting, and I liked seeing the equipment. Fun to see the floaters blow up and disintegrate.
-
Thanks for sharing the clip. Am most grateful.
-
Wow, such a good explanation of how you zap these floaters. Well done!
-
GREAT video !! Thanks, Dr !!
-
Thanks for your work.
-
Thank you for sharing yeah I'm in my mid-50s and these just came out of nowhere, educating myself on this stuff as I went to my ophthalmologist in didn't really get any ideas about what could be done about it almost as if nothing could be done about it

When I had a retina tear repaired, I left with what seemed like more floaters after the laser repair, however they did seem to get somewhat less noticeable over time. I’m still dealing with annoying floaters and do hope treatment such as this becomes more accepted and available.
-
Good info, thanks a bunch.
-
i have double PVD and obvious floater rings but unfortunately live in the UK great video BTW
-
Superb informative video again ... top class ... Just wish you were in the UK 🙁
-
thank you. this is me.

Thanks for the video Doc, very helpful. I would come see you right away, except I am in Northeast, close to Boston. Can you recommend anyone in the Boston area? Again, many thanks. My current eye doctor is recommending vitrectomy, but I only have one big floater in center of vision to get rid of. It would seem so much easier to do your treatment.

Many many thanks doctor for providing useful information ,how floaters can be treated without doing any harm to the retina .

Hello Doctor, I’m not gonna lie I’ve even fascinated in your videos destroying floaters and explanations. As a sufferer of Floaters since my early years all of this is interesting. Maybe one day I’ll come on down for a consultation! I’m not gonna lie I really enjoy when you floater doctors upload patient treatment video it’s like watching a video game! Keep up the good work your explanations are 100% easy to understand and have me convinced! Have a good one 8)

I've had the flashes and floaters. I'm probably adapted to them now. But I feel like I am looking through "vitreous". I had a cataract consultation with one of the 2 most prominent surgeons in town. I asked him if I'm looking through 'vitreous' or cataract. He said cataract. Yet he said my cataract isn't bad. Wish I knew if my vision would clear up with expensive lens replacement.

I've just had this treatment from Dr. Scott Geller here in Fort Myers Florida. One session for the left eye and three for the right. Huge improvement. Very satisfied.

I started seeing flashes of white light about 3 months ago and thought it had gone away, but I was in Istanbul Turkiye last week and noticed a huge increase in floaters, small black flies in my vision, and what looked like falling ash and also a couple flashes so I went to see an ophthalmologist and after doing a thorough eye exam, he noted a pvd in my left eye and recommended laser treatment to weld vitreous hole or flap closed. I still have floaters but no flashes. Cost me $1200 usd for laser treatment that I possibly didn’t need but it was what the doctor recommended so that’s what we did. FYI, I’m 53 and male.
