Frequently Asked Questions
When should I worry about floaters?
See a doctor immediately if you notice a sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow in your peripheral vision.
Do floaters go away?
Most floaters do not go away completely, but they often settle at the bottom of the eye and become less noticeable over time.
Can floaters be removed?
In severe cases where vision is significantly impaired, a vitrectomy or laser procedure can remove them, but these carry risks and are reserved for extreme cases.
Does insurance cover Eye Floaters treatment?
Most vision and medical insurance plans cover diagnostic exams and medically necessary treatments. We accept most major insurance plans and can help verify your coverage before treatment.
