YAG (floaters) laser surgery a year later was 1200.00.

I've got floaters, but didn't know there was a surgery available for them. (Some have clumped, and are pretty big).

How long is recovery from floater surgery?

Just don’t be the unlucky one to have the laser tag the retina by mistake. Don’t know if it still happens but it definitely did.

It was done by laser-non invasive. The best feeling in the world was the cold wet tissue applied to my eye right after.

By the way, my cataract surgery was done though a 2 millimeter slit through the white of my eye. I see someone mentioned the cornea.

Recovery is immediate. The laser disintegrates the floaters.
