After yag eye laser big floaters.

[Msue45]

After cataract surgery, I had yag laser. I then developed a larger floater in one eye that had a "windsheild wiper" effect when I look left to right or right to left.  Now I have developed the same in the left eye.  It is very annoying.  My Dr. seems to think the cure would be worse than living with it. Any ideas as to what this is?

They screwed up in you Yag Surgery. Keep the f/u and on them to make darn sure they take care of this.

There is no way to prevent floaters from developing after yag laser capsulotomy.

There is no treatment. Hope it settle to the bottom of the eye or that you get use to it and tune it out.

I have the same problem after my YAG surgery and it is like having a drop of oil in my eye when looking from top to bottom. I big blur. It isn't going away. And I am not getting use to it either. It always feels like I have something in my eye as well.

You don't "feel" floaters so if you have a foreign body sensation you should see your ophthalmologist to look for something in the eye.

How long has it been  since you had the yag laser?
