Is YAG vitreolysis available on the NHS?

Most patients seeking treatment for bothersome floaters choose private care. Blue Fin Vision® offers consultant-led YAG vitreolysis with rapid access and transparent pricing.
Does private medical insurance cover YAG vitreolysis?
YAG vitreolysis is generally not covered by private medical insurance, as it is usually considered an elective procedure for quality-of-life improvement rather than medical necessity. Contact your insurer to confirm your specific policy.
Is YAG vitreolysis worth the investment?
For patients significantly troubled by floaters affecting their quality of life, work or hobbies, YAG vitreolysis can be life changing. The procedure offers a non-invasive alternative to vitrectomy surgery with minimal downtime. Your consultant discusses realistic expectations and whether treatment is likely to provide meaningful improvement for your specific floaters.
