Floaters of light after Barrage Laser
I had a Lasik eye surgery in 2015, my eye number was -2.50, I didn't get my eyes checked after that untill I experienced Flashes of light in my right eye in 2020, When I got it checked my doc diagnosed that I have a hole/lattice. He treated it with Barrage Laser but after 4-5days only I started noticing Floaters in my eye with strangled lines or drop of lights, my doc suggested me one more eye drop but still the issue is there and I am experiencing even more floaters of light in my eyes. It's been 25days after my surgery. Need a second opinion on why it is happening. Pls help

Hi, floaters are due to liquefaction of vitreous gel. If you feel number of floaters are increasing, then go for repeat dilation , unless 360 barrage is done completely, there are chances of new holes in some other places.
Next Steps
floaters persist for long time, try not to give lot of importance. but do keep a count or check on them.
Health Tips
keep checking vision in that eye, with other eye closed, for any early vision loss.
