Side effects of torn retina laser treatment

I was diagnosed last week as having four retinal tears in a small area. I had laser treatment and a correction laser treatment a couple of days later.
Now, 3 days after the last treatment, I still see floaters, which I expected, but my vision is also not clear. I feel like I am looking through frosted glass.
Is this normal and will it go away by itself after a few days or should I see my doctor again now?

Waiting is best for most people, however for some people laser or cryopexy is best. Each case must be individualized.

I have had  floaters with the flashers for over 4 months.  The doctor said to wait and it should clear up.  I have clear vision except for the black string and floaters.  Waiting for better vision.

Only your treating Eye MD surgeon can answer your questions. Get in to see him/her on MOnday.

I had that same treatment and I have floaters but clear vision . The frosted glass effect sounds like a secondary cataract which I have in my other eye . Go back to the doctor. That is not normal.
