# When does vision stabilise after YAG vitreolysis?

Vision after YAG vitreolysis usually settles over several days to a few weeks. Early on, you may notice temporary blur or new floaters as the eye clears debris.

## First days after treatment

Immediately after the procedure, the vitreous can be slightly disturbed. Light scatter from tiny particles may make vision feel hazy.

- Most people see improvement in clarity within a few days.
- Some floaters may persist but move out of the central line of sight.
- Lubricating drops can help if eyes feel dry or tired.
- Follow-up visits check retinal health and pressure.
- Rarely, additional sessions are needed for best results.

## Longer-term visual outcome

By about four to six weeks, vision is usually stable. Residual floaters are common but often much less intrusive than before.

- Discuss any ongoing visual disturbances with your specialist.
- Sudden increase in floaters, flashes, or shadows needs urgent review.
- Regular eye examinations remain important for overall retinal health.
- Some people prefer to live with mild floaters once serious causes are excluded.
- Low-vision strategies, such as adjusting lighting, can still be useful.
