retinal problems

hi
i had a laser treatment for my retina coz it was weak in both eyes abt 5 days back...
the left eye seems perfectly fine but i have a lot of problems wit my right...
1st the doc told me i had some schisis cavity in my left eye and to prevent it from spreading he spent abt 30min torturing me wit the laser...
he told me 80% is done and to go back 2 weeks later...
but i find my vision has gone down drastically...
the no of floaters have increased badly and they bother me a lot...by trying to avoid them i end up makin my eyes feel tired....
does this laser treatment take some time to heal?
how long?
i'm scared if ive got bleedin or something cos my floaters have increased by a gr8 extent...pls help

In general I would not treat schisis with laser or surgery.

There are complications associated with laser treatment.  See another retinal specialist for a second opinion.
