Are you frustrated by distracting floaters drifting across your vision? If you are searching for a safe, effective, and expert-led solution, Blue Fin Vision® Eye Clinic offers the most advanced YAG vitreolysis of eye floaters in London. Here, you will find the very best private care, delivered by top-rated specialists in state-of-the-art clinics on Harley Street and Weymouth Street.
Why Do Eye Floaters Occur?
Floaters are small clumps or strands within the vitreous – the clear, jelly-like fluid inside your eye. They cast shadows on your retina, appearing as spots, threads, or cobwebs that move as your eyes move. While often harmless, floaters can become highly intrusive, especially when they interfere with reading, driving, or working on screens.
The Modern Solution: YAG Vitreolysis
YAG vitreolysis is a minimally invasive laser procedure that breaks up floaters, making them less visible or removing them entirely. It is performed as an outpatient treatment, with no incisions or stitches required. At Blue Fin Vision®, our leading surgeons use cutting-edge laser technology to deliver safe, precise, and effective results for patients seeking eye floaters removal London.

What to Expect: Your YAG Vitreolysis Journey
Initial Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive eye examination by one of our top-rated specialists. We will:
- Assess your eye health and the nature of your floaters.
- Use advanced imaging to determine if your floaters are suitable for YAG vitreolysis.
- Discuss your symptoms, expectations, and any concerns.
The Procedure
- Preparation: Local anaesthetic drops are applied for comfort.
- Treatment: A special contact lens is placed on your eye. The YAG laser delivers short, painless pulses to break up the floaters.
- Duration: The laser treatment itself takes only a few minutes, but your appointment will be longer to allow for preparation and post-procedure checks.
Aftercare and Recovery
- You may notice small dark specks or mild discomfort, which usually resolve within days.
- Most patients can resume normal activities the same or next day, though you should not drive until your vision is clear.
- A follow-up appointment is scheduled to ensure your eye is healing well.
Realistic Expectations and Safety
YAG vitreolysis is considered a low-risk, highly effective procedure in the hands of experienced specialists. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks, such as retinal tear or detachment, cataract formation, or temporary rise in eye pressure. Our leading surgeons take every precaution to minimise these risks and will discuss them with you in detail.
It is important to have realistic expectations:
- Many patients experience significant improvement, but complete elimination of all floaters cannot be guaranteed.
- Some floaters may require more than one session.
- Very dense or inaccessible floaters may not be treatable with laser.
"I felt absolutely confident that Mr Hove wanted me to be fully informed about the procedure (YAG laser vitreolysis), and that the absolute minimisation of the possibility of any negative outcomes was at the forefront in his approach. I had travelled down from Glasgow via Heathrow and the whole process was quick and easy."
