If floaters are your only symptom and the rest of your ocular examination is normal, I would not recommend undergoing vitreolysis at all. Especially since you are so young. Please undergo a complete ophthalmic examination including the corneal tests required prior to laser surgery and then take an informed decision about which surgery suits you best.
