London's Premier Eye Clinic for Advanced Eye Floaters Treatment
Eye floaters – those pesky specks, squiggly lines, or cobweb-like shapes drifting across your vision – can be more than just a minor annoyance. For many, they can significantly impact daily activities such as reading, driving, or enjoying life’s finer details. At Blue Fin Vision®, located on Harley Street in London, we specialise in YAG vitreolysis of floaters, offering a minimally invasive solution to restore your visual clarity and improve your quality of life.
What Are Eye Floaters?
Eye floaters are small clumps of collagen or cellular debris that form within the vitreous – he gel-like substance inside your eye. These floaters cast shadows on the retina, causing visual disturbances that appear as dark specks, threads, or cloudy shapes. While most floaters are harmless, persistent or large floaters can interfere with vision and become bothersome.
Causes of Floaters
Floaters are commonly associated with:
- Ageing: The vitreous naturally shrinks and becomes more liquefied over time, leading to clumping.
- Eye injuries or surgeries: Trauma or procedures like cataract surgery may trigger floater formation.
- Retinal conditions: Issues such as retinal tears or detachment can exacerbate floaters.
- Myopia (short-sightedness): Higher levels of myopia increase the likelihood of developing floaters.
Symptoms
Patients often describe floaters as:
- Moving shapes that dart away when you try to focus on them.
- Cobweb-like patterns in the field of vision.
- Shadows or spots that are more noticeable against bright backgrounds like white walls or blue skies.
YAG Vitreolysis: A Revolutionary Treatment
At Blue Fin Vision®, we offer YAG vitreolysis, a cutting-edge laser procedure designed to reduce or eliminate bothersome eye floaters safely and effectively. This eye floater removal treatment is ideal for patients who have persistent symptoms and well-defined floaters that interfere with their daily lives.
YAG vitreolysis uses nanosecond pulses of laser light to precisely target and vaporise floaters within the vitreous gel. The procedure breaks down these clumps into smaller fragments, which are absorbed naturally by the eye, significantly reducing visual disturbances.

Our Advanced YAG Laser Vitreolysis Procedure
Step-by-Step Overview
- Pre-treatment preparation: Anaesthetic eye drops are applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. A specialised contact lens is placed on the eye to stabilise it and focus the laser precisely on the floater(s).
- Laser application: Using a Neodymium:Yttrium-Aluminium-Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, short bursts of energy vaporise the targeted floaters into tiny gas bubbles that dissolve naturally over time.
- Post-procedure assessment: Your eye is examined immediately after treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure is painless for most patients, though you may notice bright flashes of light and hear clicking sounds as the laser works on your floater(s). Mild pressure from the contact lens may be felt but is generally well-tolerated. To eliminate eye floaters, most patients will require 1-3 treatment sessions.
Recovery and Aftercare
Immediate Effects
After treatment, you might experience mild redness or blurred vision due to dilating drops used during the procedure. Small dark specks (gas bubbles) may appear temporarily but will dissolve within days.
Resuming Activities
Most patients return to light activities within hours or by the next day; however, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
Follow-Up Care
A follow-up appointment will be scheduled within two weeks to monitor progress and check for complications such as retinal tears or elevated intraocular pressure.
Is YAG Vitreolysis Right for You?
While YAG vitreolysis of eye floaters offers significant benefits, not all patients are suitable candidates for this treatment. Ideal candidates include individuals over 45 years old with large, well-defined floaters located away from sensitive areas like the retina or lens.
For those who are not suitable for YAG laser treatment, alternative options such as vitrectomy surgery may be discussed during your consultation.
