Lasik and Floaters?

[Gina29]

Do floaters increase with lasik or lasik type surgery?I already have a lot of floaters that have been checked 4 times. I am fearful of lasik but am having a hard time with contacts so may look in to it.

Sometimes lasik does increase floaters sometimes it causes posterior vitreous detachments. If you're afraid of lasik stick with glasses or contacts.

Can lasik cause a strange feeling in your head.......I had lasik and 2 years later I have a strange feeling in my head which seems to be triggered by my eyes. I have had my eyes checked and the doctor say they are normal.

No it can't.
