Floaters and Laser

2017-09-26 07:12:06
I had a barrage laser about 1 month ago in my right eye due to lattice with hole. After that am having a lot of floaters and white dots in my vision. After 7 days of laser i went back to my doctor he told after  laser some cells and pigments are released from retina which can cause floaters and he told me to come after 6 months. i am nervous about floaters. what to do now?

Hello, Do not worry about floaters. But you need to do routine retina check up every 6 months to see health of your retina.
